what kind of speaker plug is this?

If you don't want to cut those wires then this is what you want. Comes in a pack of two. If you replace the rear speakers you'll need a set for them too. I bought some speakers from Crutchfield and they included the adapters for free.

Buy and use the adapters for sure! Unless of course you are going to upgrade your speaker wiring or something. I have been using the adapters for over 15 years in my 92 GTA and never had an issue. I got mine from
Drive me nuts when people cut wires on cars lol.

Re: what kind of speaker plug is this?
If you've got a pile of junk OEM Delco speakers from the 80's and early 90's you can make your own adapters. The male half of the connector attached to the factory speaker can be salvaged easily, then just desolder the old wires from the terminals, clean and solder on new leads. Of course this makes the factory donor speaker trash, but it's easy enough to find trashed Delco speakers, not to mention replacing a speaker is a lot easier than replacing a hacked up harness.

One other thing... Almost any 4x6 will fit in the Camaro dash, but the Firebird dash generally has less room for a large speaker magnet. In the past I've generally used an adapter plate to mount a typical 3.5" round speaker in the Birds. It's easier to fit and usually sounds better.

Just buy the adapters from Crutchfield. That way you'll get the right part for the right location. I seem to recall there being two different adapter options for the rear speakers. I needed to make sure I got the right ones.

That looks like an adapter to extend the length of the original plug for the harness and factory speaker. Wouldn't work with after market speakers.

Re: what kind of speaker plug is this?
I see what you mean. That's strange. Didn't know they changed them on late years, but they look like the proper plugs from your picture. I'll keep looking and if I find something out I'll let you know.

Re: what kind of speaker plug is this?
Well I did some cross referencing and the adapter I posted the link for is for the rear speakers. Crutchfield claims those do work for your year. This is what Crutchfield says they are for the front and I went and used the part number to find them on Ebay since they are half the price. Same brand.

Just order the proper one for your year. On my 87 IROC one of the previous owners hacked off the harness and its long gone. So I had to buy the proper adapter for an after market stereo and an original reverse plug to put a factory style plug back on the factory car harness. I don't know if you would be using the same adapter as me or not. This is what I found in a quick search for 91 Firebird. You'd want to double check.

Re: what kind of speaker plug is this?
These are what I ordered back in 2009 and use:
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207100...s.html?tp=3097
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1207100...s.html?tp=3097
I ordered 1 of each, they are sold as a set. I used them for my front and rears.
...and yes, buy an adapter for your head unit, so not hack the harness.
