dude why waste your money???
all you gotta do is cut off the GM plug and crimp on some ends
or if you're running them off an amp run new speaker wire

You can grab a harness at walmart if you dont feel like stripping wires. crimping is however almost a necessity if you dont feel like shorting out your system. My system is half-crimped. Some bare speaker wire is left unprotected, I left it out of the ashtray until I could get money for more connectors, I just crimped the important ones; Ground, and a few speaker wires, along with the remote. I left the power wire and accessory wire uncrimped for a reason you can find in the topic "are you afraid of ghosts??"

hmm, you might wanna watch that, it might give you a load below 4 ohm, and end up cook your head unit.

you don't have to use adapters. you can simply cut away some insulation and tie into the stock wiring, leaving the stock plug attached(but not connected). then if you ever decide to go back to original, the stock plugs will be there.

I'd suggest leaving the tweeters out until you can grab a passive/active crossover (or an amp that can do the same) so the tweeters dont get low frequencies. I have a boss crossover that came with my CRX, it's got outputs to tweeter and midbass, and it's passive.
