two wires are going to the tweeters on the rear deck. I just ignored those.

thanks for the help Miro...I checked the wires and two are hot two are cold...The hot wires are together? Does this make sense?

There are two plugs that connect to the factory speaker. You can follow one lead up to the top of the deck where the tweeter is. Leave this plug off.

I hope that helps. Two wires on the same plug are hot. How are you testing them?

miro, Thanks for the help....got it all figured out now.....since we're on the stereo subject, i was thinking about mounting a amp just inside the trunk on the side walls....any other places that may work better?

I dont have experience with amps, but, you might be able to mount it under the rear deck.
