I take it your using an aftermarket headunit? i also take it you want to add more speakers into the system?

If this is the case and i was you i would buy an iSO loom extension put this between the loom adapter and the headunits wiring harness.

A standard car audio system has 4 speakers and two wires going to each speaker giving you the eight wires. The loom adaptor you have will having the following colour codes, with each speaker having its own colour (positive being the main colour and the trace being the negative) Heres a pictures of the standard adaptor harness colours

To add more speakers to the system you need to splice into the rear speaker cables (as the front two will go to your exisitng speakers) in the iSO adaptor harness, if you dont want to do this you could buy an extension harness (about £2.50 off ebay) and splice into this instead.

Then its just a case of mounting the extra speakers and running the cables back to the unit.

If your using your original headunit you could try searching for automotive electrical supplies on google and look through some of the websites (vehicle wiring products rings a bell0 for some terminal which are the same as in the ford plug and then running wiring to the extra speakers etc. I havent tried doing this so cannot confirm if this would work, i pressume it would also be dependant on the OE headunit having outputs for 4 speakers.

Hope this helps
