We need to know specifics on your setup to tell you exactly what to do with what you have.

To start, You should have a harness that came with the alpine unit. (Little black square plug with a bunch of wires coming out of it) As stated in my earlier post you need to look at page 50 of your manual for the wire diagram. The white-black / white pair and the grey / grey-black pair are for your front L/R speakers.

In a typical setup you would have been given another harness that plugs into the stock one that is wired in the car. You wire the alpine harness to this conversion harness so that you can utilize the existing wiring of the stock unit. The conversion harness is not going to use the same color wires as the alpine provided one. You need to look at the diagram for the conversion harness to find out which wires are for the front L/R speakers. Once you find those you wire the white-black/white wires up and gray/gray-black wires up to them.

(These are most likely the wires you currently have the pre outs hooked to)
