yes but then if i wanted to return it back to stock i would have to rework the plug plus this way i do not have to worry about a crimped connector coming loose.

What MPTonyT said would work too.
Just seems like a waste of $21 for a simple fix that's all.

I suggest soldering the wire directly to the speaker. That way if you ever have to troubleshoot you have piece of mind that that is not the issue.

Got the speakers in they are a lot better then the stock ones for sure. might need to amp them though. adapters for the wires worked great had the speakers installed in 35 minutes easy. are the adapters worth it for some probably not, were they worth it to me absolutely.
