premium stereo speaker wiring, please help! Options

[Zack]

hey, i'm the owner of a 1994 celica gt with the premium stereo system. today i installed a new headunit, bypassing the stock amp and running the speakers off the amp in the headunit. getting the little blue connecter out from underneath the amp and removing the 2 clips wasn't the most enjoyable task, but hey - no pain, no gain. after wiring the harnesses together, i realized that the largest speakers on the doors (predominately for bass - at the bottom of the doors, i don't know the size off hand, sorry =/) aren't working. the mids, tweeters, and speakers in the back are working fine. i tried reconnecting all of the speaker wires again, just to make sure nothing was loose - but it appears that there isn't even wire in the harness for these speakers (nothing seemed to work).

(also, the yellow memory wire from the vehicle's harness held no power under any circumstance, but this problem was solved by running a 12v wire with an inline fuse off of the battery.)

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same speaker configuration....your best bet is to plug your amp back in, and just use this wiring harness from Metra-

Metra Amplifier Integration Harness-- (cheapest price on this harness)

This is what i used and it sounds great and is the right way to do it. This way, you dont need to splice anything or run 12v wires for the memory wire, just solder the wiring harness to the stereos wiring and its plug and play from there.
