Default JDM amp wiring

I have a Pioneer amp that is for the JDM rear center speaker for a Prelude. I was thinking of wiring it in but it has a bunch of wires and I have no idea which is which.
All I need is the power and remote I dont think I need any other wires.

These are the colors.

1. BLU/YEL
2. GRY/WHT
3. BRN/WHT
4. RED/YEL
5. GRN/BLK
6. YEL/RED
7. GRN/BLU
8. Black (Ground)
9. Red (+)
10. Blue (-)

The reason I want to hook this up is because I have my center speaker hooked up to my sub amp and Im only getting bass out of it.

I have used 3 differant wiring charts to compare and made sure they were same. i beleive the 2 unlisted wires are inputs to the amp. May i ask what amp you have because if you have a 2channel amp use one for your speaker ane one for ur sub. just give me the model number and i should find some info for you.

Its a Alpine MRV-T303. it is a 2ch. One channel is for my sub and I hooked up the center speaker to the other channel. I played around with the amp but no matter what I do all it gives out is bass. Id like to get music and voice out of it rather than bass.

that alpine is old school and its good stuff. If i remeber it can take 2 ohms. if so you can gwire the sub and speaker together and use octaves on the speaker to cut the low frequencies.

well double check the lowest resistance it can take. Im sure it can take 2, but dont take my word for it bro. I dont want to fry your amp. If you wire them both together to one output (bridge) then using octaves that cut frequencies below 80Hz is good. The octave sits inline with the positive speaker terminal. THese can be purchased at bestbuy or circuit city. It shouldnt be out on display. if you ask the installation bay, they should be able to sell it to you for 10 bucks.
