Don't have a schematic, but.....

The best way to figure out what goes to who, is to
test all your wire ends... get a 9v battery, and put
one wire to each set to determine where the speaker
is.  You will hear static when you have a pair.  The
ground is always the brown wire with X color stripe.

The power / ACC / ground you will have to find with a
volt-o-meter.
