Fishman Modern wiring help for a Duncan addict?

So, last night I was wiring up the Fishman Modern set and was wondering if anyone here my be able to help me a little bit. The diagram is fine (though I'm not sure I've nailed it yet) but I want to do the coil tapping and there in-lies my problem. Do I just wire it up via the diagram and THEN go back and do the connections for the tapping or do I need to do something differently along the way? Some of the wires, I 'think' may go where other wires already are, is that a problem? Should I do 'inner', 'outer' or 'both'? Will I still get both voices or will that mess with the 2 voice system of these pickups?

I emailed Fishman but haven't heard back and could really use some advice ASAP.

Here are links to the wiring diagrams (these links download PDF's):

I have a 2 tone, 2 volume, 3 selector setup.

Thanks for any guidance, I've never wired up coil tapping before, I've only really started wiring any pickups in the past month but love doing it. Forgive my newness, though, please.

Tapping will not negate the second voice.

Do you want to tap both with one push-pull, use the bridge volume for bridge tap and neck volume for neck tap or something else?

Okay, good, I want all the sounds out of them. I want to tap the bridge with the bridge pot and neck with the neck, yes.

Use the main diagram to wire everything, then add in the taps from the second diagram. “Split” the switch in the second diagram by neck and bridge, so the push/pull for the bridge will use only one side of the switch, and the push/pull in the neck will use only one side. Fluence are RWRP, so if go inners or outers. As fR as which, you may need to try both.
