Hi ForeRunnerSi,
The reason that you had no speaker operation at the rear doors and tailgate is because the tailgate and rear doors are wired
IN-SERIES; much like a string of Christmas lights with one bad bulb; they are all dependent upon all bulbs to work! When your
'Party-mode' feature is off, ALL rear speakers are in series. When you have the
'Party-mode' system activated, that system disconnects the rear door speakers and uses ONLY the tailgate speakers; that should explain why you had no rear speaker operation! If you reconnect the tailgate speakers, they will all be operative!

"...Anyways they used a speaker adapter for the speakers on the rear hatch but only one hole lines up and they drilled 4 others to make them fit. Anyone know of an adapter that fits the factory mounting pattern?"

Here's what you can do about fitting all of your aftermarket speaker choices:
Metra speaker mounting kits Just type in the vehicle year and model and they will provide you the model number that fits your truck (cost: around &20 bucks/pair)! Here (Below) is the kit that I used for my front door adapters:
"the alpine 1" dash component review" and here's a tutorial that explains just how the party mode works:
