Aftermarket Stereo Help me

[Cycobones]

Ok well i bought the wrong kit for the wiring kit for custom stereo, i cut the little square wire set off ( which is the one for the speakers) , well none of the color wires match up, i dunno which color wires go to which speakers, here are my colors, maybe someone can have a look at there wires and let me know what these colors match up to

Black
White/Red Stripe
Light Green
Tan
White/ Orange Stripe
Purple/ White Stripe
Light Blue
Light Blue/ Black Stripe
Yellow

These are the speaker wires of the factory HARNESS, i need to know the correct colors these match up with

What make and model stereo? usually you can find wire diagrams at places like crutchfield.com

The factory is as follows:
Green - Left Rear Pos
Green/Black - Left Rear Neg
White - Left Front Pos
White/Black - Left Front Neg
Violet - Right Rear Pos
Violet/Black - Right Rear Neg
Gray - Right Front Pos
Gray/Black - Right Front Neg

Yellow is usually 12v Constant and Black is Usually Chassis Ground. That is correct for the Factory, again I'd verify for the aftermarket unit.
