Rear speaker wiring adapter?

[Leand60]

Does anyone make a rear speaker wiring adapter? I will be installing the Infinity REF-6432CFX 4x6 Inch Two-Way Car Audio Speakers and don't want to cut/splice any wires.

I just ordered the same speakers and this wiring harness.

I am not sure it will work but have been lead to believe that it will.

I do not think the harness I posted is correct for the rear speakers.
Looking on the Hoel Electronics sight they say the Bronco 21my and up rear speaker harness also fits the Maverick rear speaker.
Maybe this one https://hoelwiring.com/products/ford-bronco-maverick-speaker-harness

I think it is the Metra 72-5603.

Can any one that has replaced their rear speakers post how they handled the wiring?

Did you get your speakers installed and if so how did you handle the wiring?

I used Metra 72-5600

Thank you. I assume the harness worked fine?
How do the speakers sound?

Yes, the harness is plug and play. The Infinity REF-6432 sound great, much cleaner, more depth. For the bottom end, I added a Rockville SS8P 400 Watt Slim Subwoofer Sub+Amp.

Great!
I appreciate the help and sub recommendation.
Where do you have the sub positioned?

Mounted behind the rear seat. Attached a plastic cutting board (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W4OC80?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) to the factory amp bracket, then attached the sub to that.

I used these on the rear pillars:

Amazon.com: RED WOLF Car Speaker Wiring Harness Connector Adapter for Ford F150 Edge Escape, Lincoln Navigator Town Car, Mazda 3/5/6 1998-2011 Mount Aftermarket Front Rear Door Speaker Wire Cable Plug 4 PCS : Automotive

They appear to be the same as the Metra 72-5600 described above. A few tips:

1. Pay attention to the polarity of the wiring. The adapter harness has one female connector that is larger than the other. The larger one is + on my Focal speakers, and that's probably standard for other brands as well. Hook those to your speaker first after it's mounted in the factory grille.
2. The male connector that plugs into the factory wiring will fit across the female connector on the factory harness snugly in EITHER direction, so make sure you match the positive and negative poles on the speaker. White, red, or red/white is +.
3. Wiring it backwards won't blow anything up, but the speaker will be out of phase. The adapter harness has 3 sockets, but only the two outer ones are used, and they match the factory harness.
4. These adapters don't look like they'd fit if you eyeball them, but they work. I was not able to find a perfect match that was a perfect snap-in connector. These do fit snugly, however.

Definitely check the polarity. The Metra 72-5600 that I used were reversed.

The great thing about the adapters I used is that they fit either way.
