This is for the 6 speaker system....

Harness behind the HU:
Gray=ACC Power
Blue/Yellow=Constant Power
Brown=Ground
Pink=Front Left +
Purple=Front Left -
Lt Green=Front Right +
Blue=Front Right -
Black=Rear Left +
Yellow=Rear Feft -
Red=Rear Right +
White=Rear Right -

For the tweeters in the Front doors:

Left:
Red/Blue=Left side + input
Pink=Left side + output (then goes to woofer + side)
Blue=Left side - input
Purple=Left side - output (then goes to woofer - side)

Right:
Red=Right side + input
Lt Green=Right side + output (then goes to woofer + side)
White=Right side - input
Blue=Right side - output (then goes to woofer - side)
 
Thanks man. The install of my head unit is now complete. But you mixed up the +/- on the black/yellow wires!!! I KNEW I shoulda stuck to my instincts. I had to take everything apart again to switch the wires once i realized my left rear speaker wasn't working LOL. Thanks again.

Just so I get this correct......If I were to add a woofer to the rear of my vehicle'; you are saying that I need to tap into the front door tweeters and run the wires off them! I want to add some more sound in the rear of my runner...the six speakers just don't do the trick for me. I'd like to at least add two more speakers to ther rear compartment. I was thinking of just tapping off the rear door speakers but I'm afraid that I might affect the ohms coming off those speakers!
 
I think you can tap the rears. I tapped mine back in 2002 and it's been working/sounding fine since. Make sure you run it through a hi-low converter that brings the power up to amp level input and outputs as RCA. Unless your amp has one built in.

Thanks chillwihll! I just want to add two more ordinary speakers to the rear that I can remove when I need the extra cargo space. I am not a big boom...boom freak; so a couple of automotive store multi-coverage speaker boxes will do the trick for me. My question is: Would I still need to use the hi-low converter just to add these two speakers so they sound even with the rear door speakers?
 
Oh, no. Only use the hi-low converter if you have a separate amp back there. If you're just adding a couple speakers (mids--not subs), then just tap and you'll be fine. Haha I got over the boom boom thing too. I took out my system today. I'd rather have the cargo space. 3 subs and an amp was just too much.
