dash speaker harness for 88 cutlass ciera

[Tonglebeak]

I bought a pair of pioneer tsa878 3.5" speakers for my front dash. I bought them because they were designed for gm vehicles...lucky me, they don't hook up to the harness.

So I went in search for a speaker harness...at circuit city, all they had were ones for the rear speakers (even though they tried to tell me it'll work for the fronts, thank god for a return policy). They were Metra 72-4500, and some other one that was a joke.

Done some googling, but I cannot find any front dash speaker harnesses. Am I stuck with good old trusty butt connectors and a lighter? Or does anyone know of an actual harness that works for this car?

can you take a pic of the connector on the car that you are trying to mate to ?

Yeah, np. It's a blurry pic, but it should be more than enough to figure out what kind of harness is needed.

I don't think you need a "harness" ... just get some male spade connectors and push them in (after wiring them)

yep my remote turn on wire was like that. i found it easier to just cut it and put on a crimp on connector

Hit up walmart, bought a pack of quick disconnects, used a cutter/crimper and a trusty BIC, and everything's set now.

With the passive crossovers wired in, my system sounds much better now

Used to push the volume up to 40 just to be loud (it goes up to 50), now I can't get it past 30 without hurting my ears.

Just need new 6x9's and everything will be ripe

Thanks.
