My car has two speakers in each pillar. The radio was removed when I got the car. I've wired in an aftermarket stereo but the bottom 5 inch round speakers aren't working. does anyone know what color wires go to those speakers and how I can wire them in to work. thanks

They're a factory subwoofer.
Forget about making them work with an aftermarket stereo. Stop hacking wires while you're ahead. The parts are worth enough in resale value to put a nice stereo in the car, but it's worthless after you cut it all up and blow the speakers. You're best off to remove the entire system intact and sell it to someone looking for that setup, then get some 6x9 mounts from a typical thirdgen or fab some mounts for a pair of 6.5" speakers

I haven't hacked anything. The car had an aftermarket stereo installed by the PO but he didn't connect the factory subs and amp portion. I'd sell this stuff if you're interested.

Your original speaker system should have 2 sets of plugs on each side. 1 set comes directly from the radio and the other set come from the sub-woofer "AMP". Here are a few pics of the rear speaker wiring as well as the entire schematic for the system.

I hoped I could just run all four pillar speakers off the rear output from my head. I've been advised against trying that..
