Default Aftermarket Stereo Install

Hi Guys
I have just bought a new double din kenwood stereo for the wifes jeep. I wired up the main harness but there is another harness which I am only assuming has something to do with the infinity amplifiers and speakers.
At the moment I have no sound coming out. Everything turns on as it should but I can't figure out where the speaker wires are meant to go. I have plugged the speaker wires into the spare little harness but still no sound. I am not sure what it is for and how to work around it. I really don't want to cut the cables to the little harness. Does anyone have any idea what it is and how it works?
Here is the wiring diagram. The top one is of the little harness the bottom one is the main wiring harness which I have already hooked up. Am I supposed to connect the blue/white amplifier wire from the head unit to somewhere to power the in built speaker amps? Where would I connect it to? Where do I connect the speaker wires? I assumed that the white speaker wire went to the position 6 for positive and position 7 for negative and the

Yes it should be the blue and white stripe wire from your head unit to the infinity amp. This turns it on.
If your not sure the easiest way is to buy 2 new Aeropro harnesses:
1) is Jeep KJ - ISO harness and
2) Kenwood to ISO harness. Then just clip all the plugs together.
Also if you don't have one yet you will need a Euro adapter for the aerial. Im pretty sure I still have a KJ harness and adaptor. Where abouts are you located? You should be able to buy all the bits for about $40 in your not local anyway

Thanks TJ
It's alright I figured it out. The harness I had came with RCA ends and I plugged them into the back of the HU. They had to be cut and connected to the speaker wires. I now have it all up and running. Now to figure out how this mira link works!

You assume wrong. For some reason my wifes one does not have the steering wheel controls whereas my one does. I have an 04 cherokee and my wifes is an 07

I've got an 02 KJ and your dash must be different to mine as I believe I can only fit a 1 din stereo in mine as the space is about 1 1/2 din. I'd be interested to see a pic if you don't mind.
