Default speaker wire adaptors

does anyone know if someone makes an adaptor that goes from the factory speaker wires to aftermarket speakers? i do not want to cut off the factory plugs on my harness. i have a 74 and the speakers are the kenwood 4x6 that some of the suppliers sell.

run separate speaker wires to head unit instead and leave factory wires alone.

You can run new wires to the speakers, buy a set of these connectors to plug in the radio and leave the factory's wires alone-
