Default 2013 GS - Bypassing the Bose Amp

I am upgrading my speakers and amplifiers in my 9-speaker Bose system. I want to keep the HU so it remains OEM (I know - old technology). I am removing the Bose amp and going to put a compact 4-channel Rockford Fosgate amp in its place. I disconnected the 3 harness connectors from the amp and plan on using a heat gun to remove the connectors from the amp to interface to the harness connectors coming from the radio (therefore, not having to cut any wires).

There is an 8-pin harness connectors (largest pins, 2 rows of 4) and two (2) 16-pin harness connectors (smaller pins, 2 rows of 8). In all of the schematics I have seen in this forum, it looks like there are 24-pin connectors. My question for the forum is: does anyone have the pin layouts for these harness connectors for the 2013 C6 GS? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but this one only shows the 7-speaker system and not the 9-speaker. The pins in the PDF file go up to A12 and B12, and my harness plugs only go up to A8 and B8. Here is how my amp looks:
