Exclamation Replacing Speakers / Wire Colors

I have just taken off the front doors and am putting in some Infinity 6000CS speakers. Lots of problems and hoping to get some clarity from someone. I've decided to bypass the bose amp altogether and wire straight from the headunit using line converters to RCA. Here's where the problem comes in.

Once you remove the bose speakers in the front doors, it appears that they use an orange and a white wire (on the right passenger door) that go from the tweeter, down the door, splice into 2 wires each, one going to the bose crossover, and the other going to the so called 9" bose woofer, and then another wire from the crossover thru some heavy taped bundles of wires which eventually switch colors again before they reach the back of the car. What i ended up doing is cutting into the factory wiring right before they went to the back of the car when they were still orange/white, and used my own wires in the doors. I'm trying to not tear my entire car apart, although if you see my garage you'd think i already have done that.

Does anyone know what the colors of the orange or white wires convert to in the trunk? Same with the driver's side? I have seen plenty of posts about the rear speaker wire colors but have yet to find one that shows the colors of the fronts, or even a DIY or step by step on how to replace the fronts. All i have seen is how easy it is, but once the door panels are off, it is an absolute nightmare to follow the 30+ wires that run in there.

Lets say for a minute that i was to just ignore all the factory wiring, and run all my own. Where would i tie into the headunit? I see all the wires going to the headunit on the right side, so what wires can i tie into there and just run back on the passenger side door runners? If there is anyone who is willing to have me give them a call, pls email me at jason.volpe@comcast.net as i am needing to have this finished by thursday night and have a nightmare on my hands right now.

Thanks in advance,
Jason
