if the RMS power is 100w it would be daft not to put something like this in

Hi I just got the speakers and the wire's connectors are different. Would this mean I would have adapt these wire to the cars audio wiring loom?

Nip to halfords or somewhere and get (or borrow) a crimping tool and some female spade connectors (check the size or buy a selection!!).
You just wanna crimp the female ends to you're new stuff and plug 'em in!!!
Makes them easier to remove and is better than just cutting and twisting the cables round, which will fall off!!!!!!

So something like this. And would have to crimp the connector on to the new cable and and then they will fit the existing car speaker cable?

the wireing that is allready in the car should connect straight to the speaker and you can do away with the wire they have given you

On the speaker I can only see a connection where you have to screw the wire in.Alex wrote:the wireing that is allready in the car should connect straight to the speaker and you can do away with the wire they have given you
....By the way the speaker looks very well put together.

ah rite there different to most speakers, in that case if it were me i would just cut the connectors of the wires that are currently there, and remove some of the sleeving so that there is bare wire showing and clamp them in the speaker terminals
