If it has these rear speakers ensure you use the rear speaker wiring for an LLC "source" or just replace the stock speakers like so and it'll make bugger all difference without an LLC or amplifier.

There's no drawings of exactly which wire colour is which. You have to work it out, but the speaker wires are usually "twisted" together in fairly skinny matched-colour wiring and one of the two twisted wires will usually have a white or black stripe... the wires run through the kick panels but you can "trace" them from the actual speaker plug if necessary.
