F56 Harman Kardon Wiring

I've searched for days, but never found a guide to the wire colors going into the HK amplifier. So I took apart the plug, busted out the Volt meter, sharpened my pencil and went to work.
These are my findings and come with no warranty.

Good info, but the image is so small I have to zoom the browser to see it. Got anything bigger?

Images are processed and shrunk when they are attached to posts. Perhaps the OP can add it to his gallery and link it from there instead.

The F56 is new and it will take time for some information to show up on the web, but minitis.com should have official wiring diagrams ($30/day access).

I've uploaded 5 photos for the wiring diagram and where the amp is located.

I'll soon be upgrading the HK Hi-Fi. I'm researching the best audio sound processor and needed to know how many channels pre-Amp and at what voltages. Leaning toward Alpine

Mosconi and Audison are very nice units to look at I believe it needs 8 channels if you want to go channel for channel. I believe it is 12 speakers but each component set is 1 channel i.e LF,Center,RF,LR,RR,Subs may only be 7 channels but account for 8

Is this directly behind the stereo?

the amp is behind the trim panel by the back seat, on the side behind the driver. These diagrams may help visualize it:

Thanks for the information, and I understand about the no warranty, but did this color guide worked for you?

I am trying to diagnose some noise in the rear and want to make sure that bolts on the amp are nice and tight. So in the trunk, on the right and left side, there are 2 covers. I opened both and saw that both of these sides have something that looks like an Amplifier. Is this the the audio amp or something else?

Thank you for this. Just installed subs in my daughter's F54. Pin out diagram is perfect. A few notes to help the next person:
The sub and power wires are 14 gauge.
The sub red stripe is positive
The sub brown stripe is negative.
The red with yellow stripe ignition source stays on 30 minutes after the car is locked.
