New here. Need help with some wiring on my guitar. Please help.

Hey there, guys !!

I just got my Fishman Fluence Abasi 8 string set and I'm trying to install them in my guitar. The thing is, it is my first time doing something like this, so naturally I'm stuck. I'm stuck, because I want to use the "Fishman Recommended Wiring Diagram", but with a Schaller Megaswitch M. Basically I want the 5-way megaswitch variation, with 1 Volume pot and 1 Push/pull Tone pot for Voice 2. Can anyone please help me translate the Wiring Diagram to work with my switch. I'd appreciate any help !! Thank you !

Edit: I'm sorry I'm posting about Fishman PUs on a SD forum, but I asked in a few other places and no one has even replied still. You are my last hope, people.

I can't link the diagram directly, so just click on the "Install guide Rev2" and see the "Fishman Recommended Wiring Diagram". That's what I need, but with a Schaller Megaswitch M.

buddy, all you gotta do is translate the Mega M switch for the 'standard' Oak/Grigsby/CRL switch. See here:

there you go. whatever's position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and common, per pole, on each, can be easily translated.

I installed the switch with the ABC side down. That doesn't matter, right ? Also, do I need to copy the each pole's position exactly from Fishman's diagram ? Like, they have the output wire from the Neck pup, connecting to positions 3,4,5 on the right side, up. Then they have the bridge pup's output on the right side, down. Then single coil, left side, down and North/South Coil Out, left side up. Should I position the connections the same way ? What I'm asking is, doest it matter which pole I use for what, or i just have to make sure the positions are right and anything else is however I want it ?

Also, thanks a lot !
