Default Speaker wiring harness

I purchased new speakers for my sail panels in my 99 Z28 and would like to install them without cutting the factory plug off. Does anyone sell a harness for the speakers to make them plug and play?

Most people keep it plug and play by cutting the wire from the speaker and using the original harness.

Or do you want an entirely new harness to and keep the old one with the original speaker?

I'll have to look when I take them out, but I thought the speakers just have a connector attached to the speaker itself with no wires coming off of it.

The stock speakers have a harness plug that plugs into the factory harness. Like mentioned just cut that off and then attach the wires coming off of it to the new speakers.

Unsolder the stock connectors off the old speakers and solder them to the pins on the new one. Metra also makes adapter harnesses, I used them on my truck.

Do you happen to know the part # for the adpater harness? I've been looking at them on Amazon and I can't find any information on which harness will work for my car.
