The wires for the rear speakers are under the plastic trim (with that little tray) on left and right side of your shelf. Note that it are very thin wires so its better to use some quality wires for connecting rear speakers.

any pictures?

I had a look at one at the junkyard the other day, and as AE101 mentioned, they're behind the plastic cover. They have a plug on the end, so you'll have to cut that off and strip the wires if you're using aftermarket speakers.

I found this image of the installation:

Thanks!

Was surfing the net and found this website: http://ae101.tappsville.com/
It had all sorts of diagrams and information on it...
So I took the liberty of downloading the entire website Rolling Eyes

Then I came across this post, so I thought I'd just help out this fella;)

Wiring colors of rear speakers :

At the front it is the small white radio connector.
At rear it is the white connector under the tray.

Right side
red : Right +
white : Right -

Left side
black : Left +
yellow : Left -

Its very hard to find speakers that can fit in stead of that tray.. Sad

Is anybody knows a set of OEM hatchback rear panels for speakes, let me know!!
