Works just fine for me.

Anyhow, standard speaker coloring should be like the below:

Left Front: WHITE/ White Black

Right Front: Grey/Grey black

Left Rear: GREEN/ Green black

Right Rear: PURPLE / Purple Black

I don't know if your model is the same, but it appears that the KEH-P5900 is colored to the standard, and I assume most are.

I can't find a KEH-P5000 on their list of HUs, so I can't help much more than I already have.

well, pioneer was the last major manufacturer to adopt the wire color standard we ahve all grown to know and love.

i can't remember whether the black tracers are fronts or rears, but the green sets are the left side and the grey sets are for the right side.

you should just adjust the fader on your deck so that only the front should be playing. as you are hooking up the wires you can guess and check to confirm proper wiring.
