Default Front speaker harnesses??

Can't find anything here or on internet yet. I have base stereo and want a harness on the speaker side of the connection so I can attach that to my new fronts and plug right into factory. Crutchfiled only has something for rears and Scosche didn't seem to have anything I could see. Did I miss something??

... or not so easy. I went to Best Buy last week and they only have what looks like the small brown colored connector for the tweeters. I have looked and looked for the larger white connector for the 6.5" but can't find it.
I am a little limited on searching since I'm not at home but I figure I've got only a couple of more chances.
1) call Metra and see if they know what I need
2) go back and pick up the tweeter connectors and see if the car-side tweeter harness will reach down to the 6.5" including the length I get from the Metra. I don't remember seeing any filters in the base wiring diagram in the service manual. Can anybody confirm I would get full range sound out of the tweeter connector? My guess is that there is some cheap filter on the tweeters inside the speaker unit itself since nothing is shown on the wiring schematic.
Any other ideas?

Default New Wire

I personally choose to run new wire to the doors. It was a little bit of a pain, but now I have 16 gauge wire to my speakers, which can handle up to 100watts RMS, as opposed to the very thin wire used by the factory. I left the factory wire in place to put back my BOSE paper speakers.

If you choose to run wire go to the sticky at the top and go to the link on running speaker wires to the doors. Outside of running the wire through a rubber tube, the only hard part was drilling through the clamp on both sides of the door. - Yes it is scary, but mine did great, and my Polks sound awesome being pushed from just my Alpine 9855 Head unit.
