Re: speaker wiring
Brett sent me a PM and I replied by PM, but thought I'd copy it here for the benefit of others...
Matt pretty much summed up what I said to Brett 
The adaptor is usually used when you buy an after-market head unit and want to connect it to the factory wiring loom. The factory wiring loom speaker wires would be adequate for the power output of the standard head unit, so upgrading the wires wouldn't achieve much (certainly not noticeable, anyway). You'd only really need to run new speaker wires if you're connecting up an amplifier (and new speakers, of course).
Given your situation (assuming you're just upgrading speakers while retaining the factory head unit), the money you might've spent on new speaker wires would be better off spending on abit of sound deadener/insulation as mentioned before (in a previous PM) - at least that would be a noticeable difference, but even just upgrading the speakers would be a considerable difference in sound.
I have some spare sound deadener I want to put in the doors - it will make the factory speakers sound much better, and wont cost me a cent - I just have to find the time to do it! And knowing me, I'll want to go overboard, and end up buying more sound deadener to do the job properly, and then when I've got the door trims off, I'll then want to replace the speakers, too!
