My rear speakers are blown. When I took them out, I noticed that they were dual cone, with seperate connections and wiring for each. How do I go about wiring new speakers?

Is that a Monsoon System??? Never seen that type of setup, sounds like its "high end". I think that the monsoon setups use amplified rears, so the factory probably wired the Highs seperate so they wouldn't get that much watts. Or could be for some kind of composite EQ/Crossover system that's not located on the speaker (like in after market speakers).
Your best bet is to either go with factory replacements, or go to a composite setup.... ie:.. buy rears that are single cone woofers... install them into the hole. Then use surface mount high's (like most pro's do with the fronts) somewhere in the back deck & wire them to the factory wires.
I'd check to make sure that the factory wires were infact frequency specific before I did that though.
Or, call around to see if any after market companies make a setup that used separate input terminals for your system... There has to be a couple out there, you'd think.
