Default 92 civic lx stereo wiring

so i decided against the 15 $ plug and chose to cut the plug off my stereo harness, and wiring it from there, but im having troubles with a few things.

[1.]dont know which color is constant power(aka memory) and which is the switch power (red wire on stereo side harness)
[2.]i have no clue what to connect the white wire with the blue stripe to (if i dont hook it up my clock doesnt work, and if its hooked up to a power my corner lights and dash lights stay on.)
[3.] have all the speakers mixed up.

if anyone has a diagram for a 1992 specifically (because i believe higher years are different colors) for the radio harness with labels that would be very helpful. thanks

I just can't fathom why someone wouldn't spend the $15 on an adapter harness, it makes the whole thing idiot proof unless you're color blind.

Black -> Ground
White/Blue -> Constant Power
Yellow/Red -> Switched Ignition Power
Red/Black -> Illumination
Red/Greed -> Right Front Speaker (+)
Grey/Black -> Right Front Speaker (-)
Blue/Green -> Left Front Speaker (+)
Grey/Black -> Left Front Speaker (-)
Red/Yellow -> Right Rear Speaker (+)
Brown/White -> Right Rear Speaker (-)
Blue/Yellow -> Left Rear Speaker (+)
Grey/White -> Left Rear Speaker (-)
