The black receptacle connector on non-Bose dash speaker showing on the pics does look different from the white receptacle connector on your Bose dash speaker, doesn't it?
Yes. Completely different connector. That's why the adapter didn't work for me. Your only option is to either cut the female connector off of the wiring harness or transfer the male connector over to the new speaker. If I were you I'd do the latter. The male connector can be transferred back to the stock Bose speaker if needed. Just trust me on this one. You won't be disappointed.
ps not only is the non-Bose connector different to the Bose connector, the speaker itself is much smaller in the non-Bose version.
