Speaker wiring -- 1999.5 A4 Avant

[Michael McLaughlin]

After posting my question I was actually able to figure it out, with the help of the wiring diagram in the Bentley manual and a helper who's not colorblind. In case anyone else is undertaking this sort of project, the blue/green and brown/red wires lead to the speaker in the left rear door and the red/green and brown/black wires lead to the speaker in the right rear door.
