If that is a 3 wire connector (my photo circled in RED) that is the harness to the dash speakers.
The connector it plugs into is the radio speaker plug and you would connect your new speakers to the radio plug.
BLK to each speaker
LT.GRN Right Speaker
DK.GRN Left Speaker

If the factory radio, make sure you use 8-10ohm speakers. I just replaced my '72's dash speakers with a pair from this outfit: http://turnswitch.com/speakers.htm Easy to deal with, quick shipping and good instructions.

the 4 wires come off the speakers are green dark green, black , and black with green strip .. The funny thing is when I unplugged the harness the left speaker still had sound coming out of it
