How do I wire the six wires correctly to a new speaker? I had to cut the plug and I can get sound but doesn't seem as loud as it should be

 

Speakers need only 2 wires.

 

There are inline amplifiers on most of these vans depending on options. There will be at least positive, negative, audio positive, audio negative, and the other is probably a signal wire from the radio to power on the amp at a certain ignition state.

Give year to get wiring diagram

Left Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Green
Left Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Green/Black
Right Front Speaker Positive Wire (+): Gray
Right Front Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray/Black
Left Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Green/Black
Left Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Green/Orange
Right Rear Speaker Positive Wire (+): Gray/Black
Right Rear Speaker Negative Wire (-): Gray/Pink

Use a multi-meter, steady amp will be the +/- for the amp, and fluctuating will be audio, no or low current and ground will be signal.

The stock stereo isn't going to push aftermarket speakers unless they are extremely low watt 4ohm. I'd imagine 35 watt speakers would even under-perform. I'd try 5-15 watt. Freuquecy matching the speakers isn't as important because any speaker that can RMS the power is going to have some responsive range.
