W222 Standard Burmester wiring diagram

Hello All, i'm going to be attempting my audio upgrade this weekend. i'm going to add a sub in the trunk. does anyone know where a wiring diagram for the speakers on the standard burmester is located (PDF). I've seen people say its the blue wires. I'd like to use both the left floor panel and right one to go into the Helix Hi/Low converter. thanks.

The Blue/Blue White pair and the Brown/Brown White pair are the left and right front sub channels on the standard Burmester Amp located in the rear driver side trunk well just behind the rear wheel well. I did this upgrade several years ago and it was a huge improvement. I tapped those two pairs and sent that signal into an Audio Control LCi. From there I went to a JL Audio VXi1000/1 sub amp and JL WA7 10" sub in a sealed box. It was loud, very loud, too loud. Vibrated the car. Later on I did the rest of the channels with a JL VXi 800/8 amp and it was superb but then I sold the car and all the gear as I could not get it to work with my new S63 with the HE Burmester setup. To many nannies in HE system to overcome.

sorry for not replying to this earlier. The document above is pre- facelift. The one I am attaching is post facelift. These are the wires running from the amp to the woofers under the dash. Using the “dirty” signals is advantageous because many amps will use this to turn on/off.
