Cut-off the original door connectors and soldered the wiring directly, as they do not appear to be standard connectors. Speaker wiring on the DLS splits (or most aftermarket splits) is different to OEM, which have the crossover built into them after the connectors. For those, I spliced the wiring and left the original connectors in the car, in case I ever need to put the OEM speakers back.

Also, since an after-market amp is wired directly to speakers (as opposed to it coming from the head unit), can't use the original connectors in any case.
