Default Installing amp and subwoofer

Also his factory amp is a lot smaller then mine
Hey guys. I’m trying to install a Rockford fosgate 500s amp and alpine subs into my 06 550i. I was following a pdf that I got from this forum but the guy was talking about a white and violet wire that is suppose to be the control wire for the amp. mine doesn’t have a white and violet wire and my factory amp has a lot more wires then the one in the pdf. Any help on how to install would be appreciated,thanks. Here are some pictures




This is what I’m following
