Need help with speaker wiring.

98 Formula and a Monsoon system. I am replacing the rear seat 6.5" speakers. I see four wires on each side. What is what?
I see these colors:
Driver side:
blue/white
green/black
tan
white

Pass side:
light blue/black
green
tan
orange

Obviously the new speakers only have two terminals so what do I do?

Thanks

Brian

According to the manuals, the wires are the following:
Rear Quarter Speaker, LH
WHT - Left Rear Quarter Tweeter Speaker Negative Input
TAN - Left Rear Quarter Tweeter Speaker Positive Input
DK BLU/WHT - Left Rear Quarter Woofer Speaker Positive Input
LT GRN/BLK - Left Rear Quarter Woofer Speaker Negative Input

Rear Quarter Speaker, RH
RED - Right Rear Quarter Tweeter Speaker Negative Input
TAN - Right Rear Quarter Tweeter Speaker Positive Input
DK GRN - Right Rear Quarter Woofer Speaker Positive Input
LT BLU/BLK - Right Rear Quarter Woofer Speaker Negative Input

Most aftermarket setups (mine included) eliminate the rear-most speakers. Mine are still in the sail panels, just not connected to anything.

Hope this helps.

You will need to get speakers with the tweeters built into the center of them. I got a pair at Curcuit City This setup will allow you to use the four wires that you have.
