I'm a wiring my new radio the right way?

Hello All
I have a 2000 Boxster S with the front amp, 2 dash speakers and 2 door speakers. So originaly, no wire on the Brown B connector. Only the yellow C connector. From my understanding, the door speaker (label rear on the yellow C connector) are in fact some kind of subwoofer. Later I had the rear shelf speaker using the B connector rear pinout.

My qestion is, does the rear pin out of B connector the same signal as the rear pin out of C connector. The only difference being that the C connector send the signal to the amp to boost it?

How should I wire my new system. take the radio signal of front and rear speaker to connector C to be amplified. And connect the radio subwoofer signal to the door speaker (kind of subwoofer)

thanks
Chris

rereading myself, I'm not sure I understand what I wrote lol!

I think I would like to know what is the difference between B connector and C connector output. Becker manual says:

Socket B:
loud speaker rear right +
loud speaker rear right -
loud speaker rear left +
etc...

Socket C:
lineout rear left
lineout rear right
AF earth
line out front left
etc ...

thanks
Chris

The line level output is on the yellow connector, which goes to the amp. There are no speaker level wires from the radio area part of the wiring harness.
