Cool. Yes you do need an adapter if you're going to use the stock speakers. There are a couple people around that have them, but mine is 100% aftermarket.

All it does is adjust the signal output for the speakerss since they have a built in amplifier.

I may be ghetto, but I hooked my new deck directly to the stock bose speakers and it's sounds great. Since the bose speaker are 8ohm, you can wire the lower speaker and the tweeter in parallel and it will be 4ohms which is what most decks are ment to run at.
