Default 96 Honda civic tachometer questions

I am installing a tachometer on my 1996 Honda Civic EX and on the tach I have 5 wires, a yellow 12v Constant Source (un-switched), a red 12v Ignition source (switched), a black ground, an orange 12v Switched Headlamp Source, and a green tach source wire.

Now from this, I understand the yellow is the main power and it goes into the fuse panel (I used an add-a-circuit). The Green goes on the back of my cluster to the blue/silver tach wire. The black is grounded under the dash. But where am I supposed to install the red wire? Same with the orange one.

The tachometer I am installing is this one from Glowshift:

I am also installing a voltmeter with it, and I am just wondering if I can attach the wires from the voltmeter to the wires on the tachometer. For example, once I install the yellow 12v Constant source wire from the tachometer, can I splice the yellow 12v constant source wire from the voltmeter with it?

This is the voltmeter:

Thank-you for looking at my thread, any advice on this matter will help me out greatly!

Also, for those of you who are going to tell me "Those gauges will look stupid sitting on your dash", I am using this bezel, so don't worry, they will look fine

I will post pics when all the wiring is finished up!
