Default I need help with radio :c

So when I bought my truck I haven't really messed around to see what's going on with my radio.
But, I'm tired of 2 speaker boxes I put in there for the time being.

From what I've seen in my dash, I've got 2 wiring harnesses for the stereo.
I have a aftermarket stereo, I looked at the wiring diagrams but I'm still at loss.
I've got factory speakers.

So, can somebody lead me into the direction to wiring up the speakers to a aftermarket stereo?

Did you get wiring harnesses with your aftermarket stereo? If so you just have to match up the steroes wires with the wires to the harness. My aftermarket stereo had its diagrams on the back so it was fairly simple.

Do you have separate tweeters in the doors or a-pillars?
