Most likely yes. Factory speaker wiring does not use spade connectors. It has a Ford custom connector. That adapter allows you to connect to the Ford connector and the spade terminals on the speakers.

Any aftermarket speaker will require the wiring harness.

I made my own wiring adapters by pulling the connectors and the short wires attached to them off the stock speakers and soldering some spade terminal ends to them. Cost me a couple bucks at Walmart for the spade connectors.
