Default back to stock

my speakers are shot, and it turns out the previous owner cut the harness off all 6 of my speakers (camaro monsoon) and now the speakers are blown. i purchased stock monsoon speakers off a member and want to revert back to stock, as the monsoon speakers were more than enough for me (my wallet). but seeing as all the harnesses are cut, its not longer plug and play. i need to purchase the harnesses again, and i swear ive looked through the stickies and havent seen part numbers for them. can anyone help me out?

Buy more pigtails but I bet they aren't cheap. May have been better off just going aftermarket but you didn't know at the time.

The connectors are extremely expensive:
12101854 - Door speaker connector $68 retail
12101825 - Sail panel speaker connector $32 retail
12085208 - Hatch speaker connector $51 retail

That's $302 just for connectors - you might want to try a junk yard instead of the dealer.

The connectors are there primarily for ease of assembly at the factory, so you don't really need them to get the job done. You can direct wire the new speakers. Just make sure you use mechanical clips or crimp connectors (vs. solder joints) if you need to extend any wires.

I also highly recommend you invest in aftermarket sail panel speakers now. 99.9% chance your pulled speakers are already torn.

Just a friendly suggestion. Once you do get the funds, replace all of your stock speakers out. They will all blow probably, if they aren't already on the verge.

You can put the terminals and connectors on yourself. The pieces cost less than $1 per connector. The catch is that the special crimpers run up to $200 for the tool.

If you're even considering spending $300+ on connectors, stop and think about replacing the speakers. Both Kee Audio and Double D Mods (sponsors here) have complete speaker packages for $300 or less that will eliminate the need for the OEM connectors AND give you better sound at the same time.

My suggestion earlier implied that you take the GM pigtails off the speakers you currently have and then throw them away. You can then direct wire them just like any other speaker out there.

Those pigtails are for factory assembly and noting more.
