What is the correct speaker harness for 2000 4X4 Blazer LT rear door, Metra# ?
 

What is the correct speaker harness for 2000 4X4 Blazer LT rear door, Metra# or Scosche? I've seen conflicting information, anybody have a definitive answer? Exact part numbers? Pictures?

Thanks in advance.

speaker harness for rear doors?

Are you talking about an adapter to plug into the factory speaker harness so that you don't have to cut the plug off??

Yes, speaker harness for the rear doors.

Yes, a friend of mine wants the stock speaker with the wiring harness. I want the new speaker (Polk Audio DB651s) to be just "plug and play".

Thanks for the replies guys.

its just as easy to just cut the connectors off and wire up the speakers. and save some money, just my advise.

I agree, but a friend of mine ask me if he could have the speakers with the wiring harness. He buys used Blazers ('97-02), makes repairs and flips them (I bought mine from him, phenom of a mechanic). He has a knack for fixing things and keeping costs low. He offered to repair my speakers but I opted to try and improve on the factory sound just for kicks.

I know it would be cheaper to replace speakers but he really enjoys what he does and I'm going to let him have his fun.

Thanks for the advice though...

Well, if he wants the factory speakers that you have, cant you just take out the speakers, and cut before the connector, give him the speakers and the connector.
Then you can just get your new polk audio speakers, and wire them in?

I might be just drunk and confused LOL, so bear with me. Sorry.

^^^This. The aftermarket speakers don't have a connector anything like the factory ones. 99.9% of the speakers out there have either two .25" wide male quick connects or a .25" wide and a .125" wide connector. They also generally come with either a couple of pieces of speaker wire with the female connectors already attached to simply hook up. Or they come with the connectors loose and ready to crimp onto whatever wires you're using. There's nothing special you'll need to buy in almost any case. Here's a couple of sample pics to show you what I mean.

Here's a pic of the wide and narrow connectors.

Here's a pic of the wires that come in the box with the speakers.

I really hope this helps, it was a lot of trouble to get the pics right with my phone.

I really appreciate all the help and will probably take your advice and just hard wire it in. I have wire and all different size crimp on spade connectors but what I was really hoping to find is the exact part number for the rear door (front is supposedly different) speaker harness similar to the one pictured below.

Thanks again for all your help.

Those are for plugging into the factory harness plug, yes, but it seemed as though you were saying that you were going to cut the factory plug off and give them with the speakers to your mechanic buddy?? If you cut them off then you won't need the adapters, so now I'm a little lost on exactly what you're trying to do, lol.

If you're not cutting them off then yes, they will work. Also, I'm not aware of any difference in the plugs. They've always looked the same to me.

Seems the thread kinda got a little hard to follow but if you look at posts #4 and #6, I said he wanted the speakers with the stock wiring harness. I am looking for a harness that will allow me to connect the two spade ends to each speaker and connect the other end into the factory wiring harness. "Plug and play", no cutting, no splicing and simple.

I think I understand the derailment now. He wants the factory SPEAKERS that have the stock plug on them so they can plug 'n play. He's not wanting your factory harness plug cut off from your harness AND the speakers. You kept saying it like this, "Yes, a friend of mine wants the stock speaker with the wiring harness.", which was throwing off what we were understanding.

Much simpler to state he just wants the factory speakers and you just want a harness adapter to plug in so there's no wire cutting/splicing, lol.

Now that that's behind us, my Jimmy is a two door so it has 6x9's in the rear of the truck, however the factory harness is likely the same. I'll double check what the connectors look like on all the factory speakers that I yanked from it and get you an exact part number for both.

I finally got around to replacing my dead rear door speakers in my 2000 4X4 4dr Blazer LT. The new Polk Audio db651s 6" Coaxial sound great but then again, they should when you consider what they replaced was DOA when I bought the vehicle a month ago. A really nice upgrade!

As for the speaker wiring harness I bought to try (Scosche part#: SHGM03B), it did not work. The harness connection was the opposite of what I needed for the factory connection.

The Scosche SHGM03B harness plug end looked like the end on the pic above ^. So I ended up snipping the wires close to the stock speaker terminals and adding my own spade connectors paying close attention to positive (+) and negative (-) terminals and wire colors.

Thanks for all the advice and help. :icon_beerchug:

Add: The harness changes color code at the jack inside the B pillar. Speaker is faded tan yellow to the schematics' light blue/ dark blue.

Question: I think the wire harness goes down the center or the truck down the trans tunnel. Any one know where the next jack is?
