If you look at the wires on the rear, there is one wire that is the same color on both left and right sides. That wire is the ground. The wire thats different on each side is the hot. Just did mine last weekend.
Mine was:
Green/white +
Pink/Blue -
Pink/Green +
Pink/Blue -
So you hooked up both speakers and they don't work? If you disconnect one does the other one work? Double check and make sure that you don't have a bare wire touching the body on the inside.

if your using a 01 H/U just look for an aftermarket wire harness online you should be able to determine which wire goes where that way. You were able to get the windows working hooking up the radio should be childs play
as far as I know when you use a aftermarket head unit with a factory amp, you must leave the factory amp in the car because the after market wire harness sends the signal to the amp then the amp sends it out to your speakers. To make life easy just run a new set of wires up to the Head unit and splice them in to your headunits wire harness. Using an aftermarke head unit with a factory amp never works right especially on a 20 year old car.
or buy a boom box and duct tape it to the dash
If you really had a stock amp your wires in the rear will lead you to the orginal amp location, not behind the dash where your head unit is. check the wires and if you can find the same colored wires hooked up to your head unit then you probably have a short somewhere.
but yes you can splice into the wires but if your going through all that work just run new wires.
Yeah, you can run brand new wires from the back of your head unit to the rear speaker locations or if they terminate somewhere, thats where your stock amp used to be.
The ground is your pink/blue wire and it runs all the way to your headunit. The hot would have come from the amp if you had it. Follow the hot lines from the speakers and see where they go. If you can't find it behind the head unit, its likely a deadend somewhere.

do you have an aftermarket wire harness that connects to your factory harness and then your head unit? if so there should be 4 sets of wires (white, white w/black stripe, Green, Green with black stripe, Purple, purple with black stripe, and brown, brown with black stripe)
or did someone just splice into the facotry wires behind the actual harness making it look like a gehto rig?
what brand of aftermarket head unit do you have?
