Seriously, if you are going to replace your factory speakers in your GM vehicle these are a huge headache saver! Check fitment for your specific vehicle. I used these when replacing the factory speakers in my 2007 Silverado 1500 Classic crew cab. These speaker harness adapters are well made. One end of the harness has the GM speaker connector and the other has 2 spade type connectors which connect directly into the replacement speaker. I was a little concerned that spade connectors would be lose or sloppy. That is not the case at all. They were SUPER tight and well secured to the speaker terminals. Spend the $5/pair and avoid a lot of extra work and aggravation.
**Note**
I used a small cable tie to reduce the amount of extra wire added by the harness. I did this to prevent the wire and/or harness from interfering with the power windows.
Fits 2006 Chevrolet Impala LS factory harness. I would highly recommend getting a harness instead of splicing wires into the factory harness mainly because it looks professional, its less work because its a plug and play and if you decide to sell the car, you can remove the killer system u installed and put it on another vehicle and sell the car with any old Walmart brand music system.
Works perfect for the front 2 doors. Male to female. However.. the speaker connectors for the back 2 doors are the same as these. Male to male. Had to do some splicing there. I would imagine most chevy/GM trucks to be the same.
Works as it should, I've bought a bunch of these, maybe 6 or 8 pair.. I have many different speaker configuration's I run and with these I can switch them in and out with just a clip, no cutting of factory wires. Fits my 2006 Silverado crew that had the bose system, but with metra''s help I've bypassed the whole bose system without any cutting of oem wires, and I can put it all back to stock if ever needed..
This made it very easy to install new speakers and my front door panels for the very first time on my first attempt the positive in the ground wire are also two different sizes so that you can't really make any mistakes. Old connector pictured just slides in. (Had to clean it off)

Speaker Harness for Select GM Vehicles
So i bought these so i wont have to splice and solder and heat shrink my new speakers. It only worked for the REAR NOT the FRONT. The front Gm decided to solder those directly and make the special connector for the back only. good job GM for doing half right.
Basically plug and play cut my stock wiring harness out it was junk replaced it with these and kicker ds650’s in my 2004 Chevy trailblazer everything fit good you just gotta make sure it’s all all the way on the speaker. Otherwise it’s perfect for upgrading or repairing speakers.
Plugs right into GM wiring harness. Would have given it 5 stars, but I had to cut the pre-terminated red ends off and put on larger ones as the speakers I used them on had larger spade connectors on them. That said, I would still buy these again for any GM I put speakers in in the future. The only way to go if you don't want to cut the factory wiring harness in the vehicle.
If you are installing any aftermarket speakers in your vehicle, these are just what you need to connect your aftermarket speakers to your stock speaker wiring harness...no cutting of wires needed, no modifications...just plug-n-play installation!, and then if you ever decide to get rid of your vehicle and wanted to, you can remove your high dollar aftermarket speakers, remove this plug-in speaker wire adapter harness, put back in your old speakers and plug them back into your stock speaker wiring harness!
But will say that although Amazon's vehicle fitment guide said these would not work on my '99 Chevrolet Suburban C1500 LT (old body style) they were wrong!, As they will fit perfect for the front door speakers and front door armrest tweeters and for the rear side door speakers...with no issues...again plug-n-play!
But will also note they will not work for the 4x10 speakers located in rear upper headliner part, as you will need Metra's 72-4500 speaker wire harness adapter for them!
So all i can say is do a little research before you purchase any of these type speaker wire adapters and dont just rely on Amazon's vehicle fitment guide....contact Metra's customer service direct and they will be more than happy to tell you what you need, so you can buy and get the right thing the first time from Amazon!
Had to install new speaker in my 1998 Chevy K3500, this wiring kit was super easy to wire in my new speaker to the factory wiring system. This allows me to quickly and easily clip or unclip the speakers when I need to disassemble the door panels for window repairs.
