Default rear speaker wiring-replace speakers w/new ones

My old(original)speakers have a harness with 4 wires going in and the old speaker has one small and one large press on connector, and a black and red wire that run to the side of the frame of the speaker.That accounts for the 4 wires going in. My new speaker only has 2 slip on connectors and nothing to connect the other wires to. Where do other wires that went to the old speakers red and black wires go? It looks like they connected to some resistors and a capacitor and were attached to the side of the old speaker.

The extra two wires are for the microphones that are used in the stock "Audio Feedback System" or whatever it's called. Trace the wires on the stock speakers that go all the way into the cone and use those lines on the new speakers (i.e. wires 1 & 4 in the connector or 2 & 3, etc.)
