Can someone tell me which wires from the harness is supposed to attach to the wires from the radio?

My gf bought me an alpine 7893 and i'm lost on what color wires is supposed to be spliced. (i.e the gray wire doesn't have a matching gray wire from the radio.. etc..

Also, there is a yellow wire which is connected to a fuse. In the manual, it says to connect it to the battery (positive terminal). Do i have to connect it directly to the battery, or can i connect it to a wire on the harness.. and which color wire is THAT supposed to connect to..

Thanks.

P.S. I did a search in the forum as well as other websites mentioned in this forum but have not found anything useful.

Thanks

 

an easier way would be to goto circuit city, best buy, good guys, al & ed, tweeter, or any store that sells mobile audio equipment (even walmart...just saw them today). they will sell a harness adaptor specifically for pre 1995 nissans and a diff harness adaptor for 1995-. That will greatly simplifly things.
If you wanna do it the old school way, that works too. Tell us what year your maxima is and somebody will help you.
good luck!
