I have the following two connectors for my bone stock '76 AM radio ...
Power

Speaker

And I want to tie in a bluetooth amp that I bought. But I don't want to cut/splice/replace my original connectors or wires. I'd like to find a male version of the power and speaker connectors (or maybe those are the males and I need females -- I didn't really pay attention to what was going into what when I pulled them).
I am having a terrible time finding anything that would work that would let me not modify the OEM stuff.
Help??
Thanks a ton in advance!

What did you buy? Does it interface with your radio in any way? This should be a standalone unit you are installing.

It's stand alone. I bought this 100Wx2 amp that connects to your phone for $26 that has bluetooth and lets you stream music/iheartradio/whatever from your phone:

I only have one speaker, so I guess I will just hook it to the right channel?

Okay I will try searching those two. Do these connectors have a name, similar to computer connectors? I'm not really sure what to search for, but I'll go try searching again but if these have a name that would help tremendously.

When I look at the picture for that product it gives me concern, because compared with the picture that I posted I don't see how it would work.
I have the original three wire connector, so if the two wire connector is supposed to fit inside that, it would only pick up ground and the cabin light wires, not the yellow power wire that I really want. If the two wire connector is for the speaker, then it doesn't look like it would work there either. The bigger flatter connector might work with the speaker though.
But it's the power connector that is the bigger concern for me.

Okay so you want to preserve your factory setup so why not leave your factory setup alone and just use a Bluetooth speaker? It will sound 100x better than your 10 ohm mono speaker and you can take it anywhere you want including in your truck. If you are bent on using it, just disconnect the connector at the speaker and run your speaker wire to it.

Bought a JBL Flip, works well and sounds great.
Cigarette adapter USB to USB, came with cable, holds a charge for a long time.
