read (you meant main harness to radio sub harness.)
and car may have 5 or more harness for 5 or more very complex radio head end options new,so only the real service manual covers all that for sure,or if lucky 2nd fiddle here.
Go to glovebox, pull off cover to reveal diagnostic port. Access fuse number 18, (yellow 20amp) pull out for a couple of minutes then re insert. May need long nosed pliers and or slender fingers ! If stereo then powers up, press and hold menu and power button for approx 10 seconds, stereo will re boot, fixed the issue on my 2013 208 :)
The stereo pin layout can be obtained from the car dealership, also a repair manual should have the stereo wiring harness layout in it , the stereo harness adapter for installing non oem stereo, found at the local auto parts store will come with the wiring layout, wires are color coded too, sometimes the stereo harness or stereo harness adapter will have small writing on the wires itself, showing you what that wire is for, and where it should connect.
Basically it comes down to, obtaining the stereo wiring layout, read the description on the wires, and properly connect them together, then solder the wires or crimp them, I like to solder mine with soldering wire for electronics, and put shrink tubes to protect the wires, put the shrink tubes on the wires before soldering together, and ensure the shrink tube is the proper size awg wire gauge.
You will also need, aftermarket face adapter kit and antenna adapter, if installing aftermarket stereo.
You are talking about the stereo right? You can always upgrade your stereo, but be aware that any steering wheel stereo controls will likely not work with a non standard stereo unit.
either you are running an aftermarket stereo with too much power for the OEM speakers, or your OEM radio has malfunctioned and there is stray voltage getting to the speakers. in the prior case you need to upgrade your speakers, in the latter case you need to look around and find a replacement used working OEM radio. used OEM radios can be had on eBay, at junkyards, at stereo install shops, and by looking around on craagslist, to name a few.
look on youtube.com for videos of folks pulling a dashboard, console, stereo, or speaker replacement on your vehicle. Or you can buy a repair manual which can be had on CD for about 5 bucks on eBay.

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help). Good luck.
Check to see what type of stereo head unit is installed in the car first and foremost... next you're going to want to find out if the unit is powered and sending power to the speakers.
After you figure this out, you can then go about picking out a replacement set of speakers for your car. You also need to decide if you want to upgrade being that you'll be spending money on new speakers anyway. Audio is a very subjective matter so what sounds good to you might not sound good to the next person which is why I recommend you go to a stereo shop and listen to the speakers yourself with all the settings on the head unit its hooked up to flat (i.e. the EQ flat, the fader off, the balance set to the center, and soforth) as this will give you a better gauge of how the speaker sounds by itself without any help from the head unit.
Infinity is a decent brand and Im sure you'll be able to find replacements of the OEM speakers relatively easily if you want to go that route. You could remove the speaker, and probably check out Crutchfield which stocks most of the infinity line for your specific model of Infinity woofers.
Removal is a simple task of removing door panels if its in the doors, and removing some screws and undoing some wire connectors. All you'll need are some screwdrivers and possibly some pliers.
Schematics and specifications of your stereo system should be easy enough to find online by doing a search with google or bing.
