I know that on most amps the blue wire is the remote power lead (ties into the radio blue wire so that the amp will power up when the radio is turned on)

More than likely it will be...

Orange - remote turn on
Yellow - left positive
Blue - left negative
White - right positive
Green - right negative

That looks like an old Autotek amp but not sure.

Well alot of the time it is but not always, you have to look at the layout of the wires in the connector sometimes. In this case the orange wire is in the middle by itself and there are a set of wires on each side. All the ones I've seen like this put the remote wire in the middle and group the speaker wires together.
