Recently Bought a Pioneer radio for my truck because it didn't have one.
It had the 2x stock harness adapter cable things, + the antenna pointy cable.
Bought the connector kit + dashboard kit, radio came with its own CUT cable, which then I had to connect the radio wires to the connector kit I bought at wal-mart.



Bought something that looked like these, all them cut wires, inserted into this rubber thingy with circular metal inside.
Then I used a special wire vise grips


@ my surprise, the stock speakers were left in the truck, and I believe the stock speaker cables aswell, I didn't even think I had any speakers what so ever.
Until I turned my truck on, and all the sudden music started playing lol yay.
1996 stock speakers... obviouslly kind of old, bass sucks. but honestly pretty decent.

Today I bought 4x Pioneer speakers Size : 6x8
Ts-a6885r
60$ a box = a pair...
2 boxes.... 120 bucks... w/e
anyways...

I unscrewed the rear panel, and the speaker was like somewhat bolted onto the panel...
anyways, the stock speakers had like some type of Plastic connector attactched to the speakers

This connector is what was being connected to the stock speakers...

These new Pioneer speakers that I just bought... Don't have any type of connector piece or any wires...

As i was looking @ the new speaker, i figured maybe I could take the 2 metal tabs on the sides, and bend them upwards, but before i did that, I looked @ the connector... and I'm like, that wouldn't work
because the left tab as I call it... is smaller than the right, so it simply wouldn't fit .... was a decent idea tho lol.
Good thing I didn't bend/break them.


so anyways, yea... How do I go about connecting these new speakers??? is there some type of adapter I need to get?
Do i simply just cut the stock connector off, and then simply tie it onto the wiring of the new speaker?

Or what do i do???

Wasn't sure if simply cutting the connector off and tie-ing it onto the new speakers would actually work.
So thats why i'm here.

Am i going to need any new cableing? adapters? or what?

Someone is calling the connector adapter on the stock speaker, a terminal?
Should I Break the stock speaker, and pull that off, and put it on the new speaker? What that be a recommended idea? Or could I get a new one @ a store? and would even a new one be a recommended idea?

This looks like the best solution for me.
Plugs right into the stock connector, and slides right onto the Postitive / negative ( tabs as i call it )
and then I just slightly tighten them with needle nosed pliers .
Yay, a lot easy-er than I thought it would be lol.

Those connectors are just positive and negative... Just cut the connector off identify the pos+ and neg- and wire them up accordingly.

(3 years working in a shop doing this.)

yeah just cut them no big deal man

LOL, I stopped @ wal-mart, they don't carry a terminal adapter...
stopped @ advanced auto...
stopped @ O'Reilly Auto parts, they don't have them either.

Wait 3 to 5 days buying online, or cut default wires now.... hmmm lol
Time for more cutting/connecting practice !

Maybe it's default send back
