There is a rear speaker output on the head unit so the new speakers would take a feed from that

yeah if you look at the wiring at the back of the HU youll have 8 speaker wires. if your lucky they will be marked up for you. if not id advise getting a iso adaptor thats marked and fitting that.
then you can attah the new speaker wires to that

ok middle and bottom ones.

one plug will be for power and the other speaker
pics not to clear but there looks to be only 4 pins in the bottom which suggests the power.

look on the wires to the HU

top one could be speakers them. 4 wire for the 2 speakers
sounds like you need an iso adaptor to connect up the other wires easily. you can cut the wires marked + and - for the rear and attached the new speaker wire to them
