I also used the T25 ratchet and I also installed the Kappas. They are great.
The next issue is the connector, especially with the bass blockers. I made a connector that went from the Kappas connector to bare wire. I included the bass blocker on the + side (where the dot was on the Saab speaker). Be careful taking out the saab speaker as the paper cones are fragile and you may want to sell them or keep them and put them back if you sell your car or if it is leased.
Cut down the wire on the bass blocker it is too long.
To make the connector I got parts from a car stereo store -they charged me $4. You could also go to radio shack, just make sure not to get overly thin dual wires for the connection. So I fit connectors onto the Kappa connectors, tightened them with pliers, connected the bass blocker to the positive connector and the wires to the bass blocker and the negative. I then spliced the other end of the wires onto the saab wires and put electrical tape around the connections and the splices.
Its been great.
Good Luck.
