Commander 2000 control box - wiring???

[Little.desperado]

Hi All,

I just bought a commander 2000 Control box.
But the wires that lead to the gauges have no connector.
I don't know which wire i have to connect to where...
There are 6 cables with the colours: black, black-white, brown, brown-blue, purple, grey.
I want to connect a tachometer.

I hope you can help me!

Thanks for all replies!
