    No, you don't need adapters to connect them to speakers, just connectors to connect the speaker wire from the speakers to the cables coming out of the head unit.

    But only connect 2 pairs of speakers, do not daisy chain the 6x9's onto the existing speakers or you will eventually kill your head unit.

    probably sooner rather than later.

    best bet is to hook up an external amp to the stereo to run the additional 6x9's.
    sound is much improved aswell as extending the life of the head unit.
