I'm pretty sure it's a 5-wire reversal system.

That is a 5 wire reversal system.

This is probably not what you are installing, but download this... http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Man...514CG650I5.PDF

Page 24 of that PDF file talks about 5 wire reversal systems and explains how they work.

Good luck,
Cartman
