Not that difficult dude. Just remember the red wire goes to the constant hot, The yellow goes to the ignition hot, the blue is a remote wire (if you have an amp) black is a ground wire and the others are for your speakers. The easiest way to determine the wires for your speakers is to either look at the wires coming from your fronts and rears or just hook them up and listen to the radio and use the fader and balance to figure the correct ones. usually the wires with the black stripe on them are the ground wires for the speakers and the two sets for speakers (front and then back) are usually the around the same color.

The way I find my speaker wires is when I determine which wires go to the stereo I start touching my hot to the other wires till I here a speaker tick then I know which it is.

Constant hot means a wire that has power to it when the key is off ie:cigarette lighter, headlights and so on. ignition hot is when the key is turned to accessory the wire has power. The ground I would wire to a bolt that has no paint on it and bolts directly to the body.
