Front Speaker harnesses - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Once I get my car back from getting a new headgasket (ugh....) its time to fix the audio system. The rear 6x9's blew so they are shot, Already have plans to buy the full FARK setup with the rear speaker plugs, as well as their 6x9 adapters, front speaker adapters and amp mount. I have an amp and front components as well as 6x9's in mind. No subs, my days of wanting or needing bass like that are long over.

Anyway the ONE thing I can't seem to find is front speaker harness adapters. Would prefer not to cut the factory wiring in my car, but I haven't found these anywhere. What are you guys doing for the fronts (besides fully rewiring them)? Does someone sell these adapters and I haven't found them?

I am in the process of upgrading my sound system as well, but only replacing the fronts with components and adding a 4ch amp. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet but another user on the forum had used these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001OAB6BW...v_ov_lig_dp_it in his car when upgrading his system. He did however, state that they didn't fit perfectly (needed to slightly shave off the plastics corners but then it works fine). Does not seem to be a big deal, should only take a few minutes with a file.

These are correct.

I cut the connection off my old/stock speaker and sodered some short wire on to it to connect to my new speakers, no harness cutting.

Was thinking of doing this in a worst case scenario, but for 6 bucks the above seems worth it.

I did have to cut the tweeter harness though....sometimes gotta do what ya gotta do.

All the best with your project.
