WOW, thats the one thing you never want to do, hack into the factory wiring like that. The factory harness has 2 plugs, try and wire them back into place, just match the colors
than buy a $10 harness adapter so you can plug that into the factory plugs and splice the bare ends into the radios harness

sometimes you buy a car and the harness is already hacked to shit. if you cut it off yourself, you are a moron.
speaker wires should be twisted together. no guarantee on these. i would suggest testing them all with a multimeter.
Constant 12V+Pink
Switched 12V+ Blue
Ground Gray
Illumination Red/Blue
Dimmer Red/Yellow
Power Antenna Green/White
Left Front (+) Pink
Left Front (-) Blue
Right Front (+) White
Right Front (-) Black
Left Rear (+) Light Green
Left Rear (-) Purple
Right Rear (+) Blue
Right Rear (-) Pink

I have a shitted out s13 im about to throw in the trash. I have the factory plugs and if you pay for the shipping you can have them, prolly like $5. Youd pay through the ass at a dealership.
Just solder/splice the wires back in place matching color to color
EDIT: people that hack their shit like that shouldnt be allowed to do their own work, it sucks inheriting someone elses hack job

i feel you man, i just did my car and it looked like that too. i didnt know the wiring colors so i just got out the volt meter, and pulled the speakers and looked to see what was what.
