Have you identified all the correct speaker wires post factory amp? If so, just run 4 new pairs of wire to the aftermarket head unit from that point. That's usually what I do with PS cars. That way all the speaker routing is done for you.

There is something in the menu on your deck that can screw that up though: if you turn "TI" on, that blue will act the same as blue/white.
