I disagree on the insulating. I don't get why that's always recommended. I'm not going for ridiculous volume, just an improvement in quality. I don't need to turn my doors into a woofer enclosure. For improved sound clarity, my lows will primarily come from my powered sub. The bass is turned down on my deck, so even at a louder volume its not going to hit very hard, therefore not require a rigid air tight enclosure for my door speakers. None of the adapter ring holes worked at all, so I ordered 82-5604 Metra Speaker Plates. I made some out of corrugated plastic (which will be removed), which definitely doesn't help the sound quality. I expect to get the adapter plates in a couple weeks (I live in Hawaii) I didn't add an amplifier, modern original equipment head units provide good enough quality sound for my normal use. Also, I got this info with the help from a friend. Radio Battery Constant 12V+ Wire: White/Red Radio Accessory Switched 12V+ Wire: Blue Radio Ground Wire: black/Blue Radio Dimmer Wire: Violet/Gray Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): White Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): White/Brown Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): White/Violet Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): White/Orange Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): White/Green Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Brown/Yellow Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Brown/White Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Brown/Blue

Lets just start off with that I know I probably should replace the head unit, well I'm not going to. I have the six speaker system and am upgrading with Polk Audio dxi6501 and Rockford Fosgate R1675x2 Prime speakers as well as adding an Infinity Basslink. Some things I've learned along the way.... There are two torx screws along the side of the rear door panels, one to the back and one toward the front. There are a few plastic 'doors' where you can access torx screws for the front doors. The tweeter location is accessed by pulling off the whole A pillar cover (don't hurt your airbag!) Black wires go to all the door speakers, normal colored wires go to the tweeters. The whole reason why I decided to replace the speakers is because I needed to find the speaker wire colors to install my Infinity Basslink. Thanks, Ford for using black wiring! I guess I'm going to run wires from the speakers all over the van to my powered sub. If you have any tips on me handling this install, please speak up! I hope my information has been a little help for anyone else working on this. I am assuming that the tweeter and front door speakers run off the same channel. Am I wrong? I'm going to wire my component speakers off of either the tweeter or door wiring (probably the tweeter since its a heavier wire) then run wiring to the other after the crossovers.

I'm about to install an infinity basslink, but I can't find a diagram letting me know what the speaker wires are. It's to my understanding that there are multiple harnesses for the TC, I have a 2015 SWB XLT with SYNC. Does anyone know what color combos the speaker wires are?
