Can anyone tell me the brand name and where to find the wiring connectors used for the speakers on my 2012 200?

Just replace the speakers with good ones and you will be happier than changing the connectors 😂😂🔊

I replaced the speakers in my boat, but used the factory original connectors so as to not modify anything I didn't have to. I agree with Aslan that these look like Molex connectors, but mine were a different six pin waterproof connector (don't recall the name).

Edit - per my old thread, the connectors I had were:

Connectors on the new speaker were Amphenol waterproof connectors, and so I ordered appropriate mating connectors from Digi-Key and soldered the pins rather than buying a specialty crimper. Part numbers were 889-1206-ND and 889-1207-ND, which are the male and female versions of the connector.

Many thanks for the suggestions!
I have reached out to Cobalt and they confirmed that Molex connectors were used at the time my 2012 was built but they stated that they no longer use that type of connection.
Their suggestion was the same as many of you - to find a good waterproof connector and replace both ends.

Thank you all once again. It's so great to have a support team like you guys!
