^^ basically wired it the same as the pic below (only A1-A4). wired both pairs because the stock non ML subwoofer is dual voice coil.

i've been messing around with the system all day and actually had to reconnect the 2 pairs from A1-A4 over to A5-A8. A1-A4 are connections for L&R Front speakers and A5-A8 are for the L&R Rear speakers

Damn it I need to get rid of that picture. It's my picture, and I drew it to ask how I'm supposed to wire. And I found out it's not right. White/red should be A7-A8, and brown/pink should be A5-A6

So what are people doing who don't have the orange wire for a remote turn on? I have looked multiple times, and there is definitely not a single orange wire in any of the harnesses. Really dont want to have to go back and run wires again from the cigarette lighter or whatever other people were doing. Any other remote turn on wires in the stock non ML amp?

use a fuse tap, and use the driver side footwell fuse box. ive done multiple ISx50's doing this method

I'm a bit confused on your question , but our cars don't have an RCA output. You need some sort of converter that turns a speaker wire into an RCA out.
