Default install alpine deck and rear speakers into my EF

please help me,ima major amateur about car audio

so i have this alpine deck CDE-102 with a usb port and its one of the newer ones
and rockford fostgate R1653 6 1/2 speakers

my EF sedan didnt come with rear speakers but it did come with wires so i cut holes in the rear panel and the plugs wont work with the rear speakers.
the plugs work i tested them with my front factory door speakers.so im guessing its the connectors?

and i have this crappy pioneer cd deck in my EF right now and want to replace it with my newer alpine deck.how do i do this?

i called a few shops but they say itll cost 100-130 to install both.
so i thought i minus well DIY, please will greatly appeciate some help.
i keep reading that stereo harnesses are like 15bucks,so ima look into that.

You should already have a harness if the person that did the pioneer did it correctly. You can just pop out the pioneer, unplug the harness from the car's harness, then cut it off from the pioneer and match the wire colors and solder (preferably) or use screw couplers to connect the wires from your new harness to the old one. Then just plug the alpine harness into the car harness and slide the deck into the slot.
What "plugs" are you talking about?

Cut the connectors and solder the wires to the speaker inputs.
