Blue wire to left ground
Green wire to right ground
White wire to left hot
Red wire to right hot

Thanks for the replies!
Next (dumb?) question is, does it matter that it's hooked up as-is ("upside down"?)
Left is still left and right is still right, and they're in phase with each other, correct?
(I'd rather not risk breaking any wires changing them around if I don't have to...)
No it doesn't matter. The polarity can and does get reversed at various stages up to the cut (and even in your playback equipment so in fact you might find some recordings are now "absolute phase" correct.
Some people believe that having "absolute" phase matched is important. The only important thing is not to mix phase between channels as this now means that your channels are out of phase with each other and obviously destroys your stereo soundstage - but you are already aware of that.

If you have to ask that question, it obviously doesn't matter!
