Do u have the "premium sound" system or the regular?
An easy access is the driver kick panel running along the door floor.
But the speaker wire color is different depending on which sound system is in the truck. infinity, bose, etc...

I do not think it is premium sound. No infinity name plates like my old truck had.

Grab at the back of the deck. To test if you have an amplifier, use a battery ( C cell ) to click test the speakers or use a DMM and find the two pairs if speaker wires to get a ohm load. If there is no amp present, then you will hear the speaker through the click test and if there is one, you will not.

I tested and have no amp. But I still need to find polarity for the speakers that's why I'm looking for the diagram.

No information out yet for this vehicle. You will need to remove the door panels and when click testing the speakers, look to see if the speakers are moving out or in. If they're moving out then you have the proper polarity and if they are moving in, you have it reversed.

There is also a tool you can buy...Point towards speaker and will tell you if polarity is correct...Might be a good investment if you see yourself doing more/other stuff...Otherwise the post from velocity will work great...

If you can not see the driver through the grill and you do not want to remove the panel, it may be possible to push a straw from a broom through the grill until it touches the cone of the speaker, hold it gently and have some one pop the wires with the battery. You should be able to tell which way the cone is moving.
