How do I connect this subwoofer in my car?

I'll try to include a picture but my old speaker has 4 wires and the new speaker has 4 connections positive and negative. The old has a purple and brown on one side and red and black on the other. Copper wires are there too I don't know what for.

How do I connect this?
Thanks

Black on -
Brown on -
And light purple on +
But I'm not sure.

Happy New Year to you also, Merete and db. I'm so glad that I have an old car with a basic CD player and 4 stock speakers, and that I have no interest in listening to music any louder than is required to mostly exclude the noise of my own car and others on the road. I have been in cars where the drivers couldn't tell you what gear they are in without continually feeling the gearstick. My car is so old that I need to hear when the engine is about to blow up.

Thank you all for responding and it was solved from an earlier post. I don't think I used the correct heading which may have caused the confusion.

Yes Merete, that is a gray wire not purple, to MY old man eyes. :-)

The problem was I didn't use an identical replacement but it did work when I connected one side and jumped to the other side. I finally found some instructions on line. I now have the manual, thank you Dbrunton.

I'll post more as I continue with this Jeep. Thanks all,
