having trouble installing pickups

[Guitarshredder9]

I just bought a dimarzio tone zone and dimarzio humbucker from hell. My guitar is a schecter diamond seriers c-1 elite. It has 1 volume knob, 3 way toggle switch, and the tone knob that is also a coil tap if I push/ pull it. I'm not sure which schematic to look at. If someone can please find me the correct guide to install these that would be great.

if I'm reading you correctly .. this should work .. you'll just need to adapt the "D" color code .. wire color that is

I checked out the schematics on the dimarzio forum and they dont seem to list what anything is. But I noticed the colors of the wires seem same. So could I just use the Duncan Schematics?

No...Dimarzio uses the same wire colors as Duncan, but not in the same way. On Duncan pickups...

black = hot
green and bare = ground
red and white = individual coil wires

On Dimarzio pickups...

red = hot
green and bare = ground
black and white = individual coil wires
