Hrmm. Two..Interesting. And you have 4 speakers? Hrmm maybe you don't have a Front/Rear fading option because they are spliced together...Im not too sure. You said you are going to be running new wires anyway right?
The harness looks great after removing the wires and stuff. In the post above i bolded which wires go where. If you do choose to run new speaker wire then you wont have the problem of locating where the hell all your cables are. lol.
on that Headunit is that a CD Changer that you have plugged into it or Sat. Radio? Just curious.
The adapter housing that your holding in your left hand in some pictures, do you have the piece that connects to it from the OEM unit? It will be easier to connect that and splice into the other piece than rip off that cover. Because that section is where you will connect your ACC/ Constant Power/and Ground wire.

You seem to have it pretty well together! ANyway the red and yellow power cables would have been spliced together to mean that the radio can be used with out needing the keys in the ignition and also because someone was to lazy to give its own constant feed to maintain radio memory settings when the keys were out of the ignition! Halfords in the UK use that trick when they "fit" your radio!

The HU is not a Sat, it is just a CD player.
I do have the fading option next to the gear shift.
Actually, its 6 speakers bringing the 2 subs into play, but really its 4 because they are dead.
I will be running new speaker wire.. So all I do is
1: remove the speaker
2: connect new wire to it.
3: run it to the HU just like its stated and the diagram
4: do that to each speaker

Interesting! I learned something today. So when I rewire the stereo, I do that again?
Kryp, thank you for all the help. I will be picking up some speaker wire tomorrow. Should I just get an amp kit because Im getting a Kenwood 1000w amp (dunno about the 2 or 4 ch though )and I have a single 12" Boston Generator woofer that I plan on getting connected. Would it be really hard to do this or can it be a DIY?
You may as well pick up an amp connector kit as well. I can help you through the subwoofer install as well I've installed two 12" in the trunk. If you need any help Call my cell, easier to talk and I can visually inspect and walk you through. (Verizon Calls Free) (808) 341 0723.
