Behind the kick panels you should have plugs for the door wiring, now im not 100% sure but I think the speakers have a plug to themselves so if you can identify these plugs you won't need to rip your doors apart in order to tap into your speakers which will simplify things a bit for ya.
I hope Yender can shed some light on this to help you avoid pulling things apart unnecessarily.

Do you have factory power windows, central locking or power mirrors in your jigger?
Paul I think you could be on the money, it's just strange there is no sound (noise) unless it has blown the amp????
Checking pin M for 12 volts with the amp wire connected and stereo on is just making sure the stereo is sending the signal.
I think the sound quality will be better running the speakers directly from the head unit, another vote for the direct hookup.

Sorry I have don't have a wiring diagram that coves this.
Maybe Todd has one that can tell us the colour of the speaker wires from the amp to the speakers???

Agreed....... I would have thought the same Rod, even if the new unit is to hot for the factory amp he still should be able to get something out of at low vol before the amp starts clipping unless it popped the amp on first start up.

Thanks Guys I'll have a crack at it this weekend, Got to have some sound while crusing along the beach this summer or my missus will sing to me.... omg got to get this thing working... hahahahahaha.. One other thing the manual says " USE ONLY SPEAKERS OVER 50W AND BETWEEN 4-8 OHM WITH THIS UNIT DO NOT USE 1-3 OHM. How can I check this.

It's written on the back of the speaker.
You can use an ohmmeter and measure the resistance across the speaker.
