Yikes, man. My first thought as a professional is take it to a professional.

Do you have multi-meter? You're gonna need to do some testing. I can't tell you exactly which Blue/White is which without having a meter.

Agree, take it to a pro. Also if you take it to them, they can order and install the plug that has been cut off, instead of just wiring your radio harness to it. That will get it back to how it was from the factory. Then if you ever change radios in the future, it will be a much easier install.

If your cousin is such a good installer, and he will install anything for a 6 pack; why are you talking to me?

You could use a 1.5V or 3V battery to test the speaker pairs. (Listen for the pop as you connect/disconnect the battery from the correct speaker pairs.)

to each other...

WHITE/ blue so i connected them all to their respective
wire
