98 Celica Audio System Question

I want to install an aftermarket head into my '98 Celica Convertible (amp bypass)

The problem is, I have an 8 speaker system, and I can't seem to find a harness that would match what's in my car. Anyone recognize this harness?

Ideally, I could just wire it myself without having to order a harness, so if anyone can find a diagram with what wire means what, that would be ideal.

harness

there's a special harness that comes with 2 rca ,are u planning to change the factory amp thats located behind the glov..box passenger side ,if yes u dont need no harness ,yellow /w stripe is power,brown is ignition and black is ground ,the only 3 u need , i dont think toyota ever change there colours ..

if u going change just radio u will need that harness ,there's a place in bridgeport ct that has that harness its called sounds good , located on park ave ..
however u will need to locate the factory amp if your car carries one ,if not just tap into the harness and u good to go...

if amp is present ,u will need a 9volt bat to touch the wires off the amp harness to see left from right , and front from rear... the harness is a bit tuff to realy get to ,careful not to damage it or else u f....

the colours changes due to some models come with jbl systems..

good luck ....

Thanks for the help!

I ended up ordering the:
Metra Toyota/Lexus Premium Amplifier Vehicle Harness (70-8112)

After some thinking I realized that the stock amplifier would probably be better suited to handle the 8 speakers, rather than having to "splice" them into the 4 channels the HU can provide.

I'll be sure to reference the the12volt site when I get the Harness in, Thanks a lot.
