Default GM speaker harness on C6 Bose system?

Anyone gotten a GM speaker wiring harness to work on the C6 Premium Bose system? I'm about to swap the front 3.5"s and rear 5.25" speakers with Boston Acoustics speakers, and I have my wire stripper and soldering iron ready to go, but if someone found a speaker wiring harness that works, that would be better.

I am a MENACE with a soldering iron...

I just did that for Greenie99's coupe today. I just clipped off the connectors and used crimp taps.

I also used the crimp connectors today - they came with the BA speakers. Did the trick nicely. I would have preferred a speaker harness so I could put the car back to stock easily - it burns me that they do this, there is no good reason to do this other than making it hard to swap out the speakers. But, crimps it is and it sounds great!

Cool, glad to hear it turned out for ya.

There is a reason they do it, assembly time and accuracy. Make the connections idiot-proof and quick. Doesn't make it any easier for use to change.. but there is a reason!
