My suggestion? Cut the factory harness out of a junkyard Metro, and repair your harness. Soldering iron and shrink tube :thumb

First I want to say thanks for this. I am having some problems getting it to work. I noticed on the wiring diagram the right side connector terminals are marked L1 thru L14. The left side is marked R1 thru R10. Is it possible that the male and female radio connectors are also reversed?
My wire colors are slightly different than the diagram but closer this way.

:O Good catch!
No, just the words "right" and "left" were swapped. Everything else *should* be correct. Sorry. :(
Let me know if that works for you.
BTW
I edited the original diagram, so now every error that has been discovered is now fixed. :type

I got it working. Sounds good with stock speakers. Will update when I get better speakers installed.
Stiffchezze - you and I have a different opinion on which plug is female and male. I have seen the reverse harness(same as the one I cut off in the junkyard) on ebay referred to as male.
Anyway the plug that goes in the back of the stock radio gets the F connections and the aftermarket connector gets the M. In your picture, under the amp, the connector on top is F and the one right under it is M. Right?
Hope this helps somebody. Give it a try!!

Many, many thanks to Otey13 for being so patient with my slowness while I had some extreme difficulties in my personal life...

Your harness is done:

I want to thank you Mythstae for finishing the harness during this very trying time in your life :thumb I hope things are going well for you and your family.
Now if I wasn't such a dumb ass and had known that I sent you a 6 channel instead of a 4 channel harness....Well I really appreciate all the hard work finding out how to do it correctly and labeling for the extra speakers. I have a set of 6.5 Mac labs auto speakers that have been in a box new for approx. 7 yrs. Can't wait to try them out..... :rocker

Again thank you. thank you, thank you!

Just remember that the extra speaker wires are really only for tweeters... but those brand new Macs would probably be great for your primary speakers! ^o)
