Gen6 2007 Camry SE w/ JBL stereo upgrade - need wiring diagram

Hi guys, please pardon this needy first post. I've been searching for two days on here, but I can't find what I need.

A few days ago I found a clearly designated wiring diagram for the factory JBL stereo and amp, but I can't find it anymore. I spent yesterday replacing all the factory speakers and need to wire up the amps now, and I want to wiretap on the wires going from the radio to the JBl amp. So I need to know which plug into the amp is what, and what wires are what. There are a lot more than your average power/ground/remote/left/right.

And now that's done, here are some details on what I've done so far:

Replaced the front dash tweeters with SoundStorm Labs 3.5" 2-way speakers (GS235)
Replaced the door and rear 6x9's with SoundStorm labs 6x9 3-way speakers (GS369)

Notes on the speakers: Installing the dash speakers required some minor cutting of the dash where the old speakers were, and this also required removing the metal slip-on screwholes the originals were mounted in. Used some foam tape to mount and reduce vibration as well. But the trim panels fit back in perfectly afterwards.

The rear deck speakers required some mounting adapters but with some trial and error, fit fine (plenty of clearance on the tension bars for the trunk lid).

For the door speakers, I pulled the factory speakers free of the mounting frame (easy with a utility knife to cut through the mounting tape), trimmed the inside edge down so the new speakers would fit in, screwed them down and they went back in the door just like the factory, with no clearance issues on the windows!

I'm wiring up an SSL equalizer (high level inputs where I'm tapping in as mentioned before, and 3 RCA outputs for front, rear, and sub). An MB Quart Onyx4.125 amp powers the main speakers, and an SSL Evolution EV1500M powers a 12" Pioneer Champion DVC sub.

Now if I can just find that wiring diagram!

Thanks! I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on here.

But, those answers aren't quite what I'm looking for. I can't remember WHERE I found the diagram I was looking at, but it had how the wires run (and what colors and what they were for) from the head unit to the factory amp. I'm leaving the head unit in place, but I want to bypass the amp by pulling the connections from the amp and splicing into the wires there (leaving the amp dead, but still in the car). Basically...well, there are 3 plugs that go into the amp. And I need to know what wires in those plugs are front/back/left/right etc.

ETA: Actually, post 6 on that thread may have what I need after all, if the colors are the same TO the amp as they are FROM the head unit, and they should be. Thank you for pointing that one out. I don't know why I didn't find it in my searching.

We have sound! Luna hooked me up with the diagrams I needed. Strangely, the amp pinouts on the diagram don't quite match mine - like, there are wires missing where there are supposed to be wires - so I ended up tapping into the wires at the back of the radio. And that worked great!

Except.

Turns out the high-low converter I have is a fixed level converter, which means I have no volume control from the radio, only at the amp. So, tomorrow after work I get to take out the console trim again and redo that converter. Whee! It's fine that I'll be working on it, though, because my sub amp arrives tomorrow evening and I'll need to hook that up anyway.

Thanks everyone who helped! At least I got sound going!
