Default May have found the aftermarket C6 Speaker Harness!

After looking, reading, comparing, I think I found an aftermarket speaker harness to work with the factory speaker harness so changing OEM speakers can be a little easier.

On line databases dont always cross reference correctly (ex. most still say the Sirius SIR-GM1 does not work with the C6, and it does). It appears the C6 speaker harnesses are the same as the 2004 Corvette Rear Speakers. This is one time Im happy GM carried a part over from previous years.

I called Crutchfield after I ordered my speakers and the guy in tech agreed they just might and sent them for free....You got to love their customer service. I'll have them in a few days, and will post the results here, but compare the pictures from the thread below with the pics from the Crutchfield site.....

If this works out, maybe this can be a sticky in the C6 Audio FAQ

Nice find! The pic sure looks just like the factory clip.

I just got a set from Circuit City. I think they are definitely it, but Im not planning on pulling the speakers until next week. Maybe one of you guys can verify:

From the looks I'm pretty sure you nailed it.

Only thing would be if there is some kind of size variation but the form factor looks spot on.

I have also used that exact harness. You just need to clip off the thin locator rail on the factory harness and it is a perfect fit!

Craigster05,

Did you complete your speaker swap? How does it sound? Did the speaker harness work?
