Olhool method.
Use either a test light (faster) or a DMM.
Shoot just used the second link, apologies I was going to virtually repeat that post.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

It may have a factory amplifier. Look in the trunk on the passenger side. Either mounted to the bottom of the rear deck, or on the floor directly behind the seat.
Also, are some of these wires inside of a protective sheathing?

No all wires are just hanging everywhere, radio got jacked, looks like they clipped every harness to my car, maybe someone with a towncar did it! I basically need main wires, no speaker wires. Running all my speakers to my 4 channel amp'

The wiring that you provided is not consistent with what this vehicle should have. Was there a stock or aftermarket radio in the car before the violation? Regardless of what is posted here, you MUST test all wires before making any connections. We can only provide a reference; car manufacturers do make changes to wiring color on occasion without documentation to the general public. So before I provide the wiring colors, see my sig
Constant 12V = Light Green / Violet
Switched 12V = White / Blue
Ground = Black and Black / Light Green
Illumination Light Blue / Red
Antenna = Orange / Light Blue
Mute = Dark Blue (MY 1991 = 2 Dark Blue)
Headunit to Amp:
Right Rear (-) = Light Blue
Right Rear (+) = Violet / White
Right Front (-) = Brown or Black
Right Front (+) = White / Red
Left Rear (-) = Yellow
Left Rear (+) = Light Blue / Black
Left Front (-) = White / Orange
Left Front (+) = Light Green
Amp to Speakers:
Right Rear (-) = White / Violet
Right Rear (+) = Tan / Light Green
Right Front (-) = Light Green / Violet
Right Front (+) = Light Green / Orange
Left Rear (-) = Tan / White
Left Rear (+) = Dark Blue / Orange
Left Front (-) = Dark Blue / Yellow
Left Front (+) = Light Green / White
Amp location = Below right side of rear package tray

This information is provided only as a reference.
All circuits should be verified with a digital multi-meter prior to making any connections.

Everything was stock when I bought car, took it to car audio dealer and got radio installed. Haven't changed radio since, now everything's ripped apart! Thanks for info everyone! I'm going to try and use the dmm Method and see how that goes.
