I like that you put original plugs on but guess it wont make sense in my case as there's no amp in my current setup and consequently, the wires running to the current speakers under the seat come directly from the HU and wont have anything to do with the amp. Based on "Technic"'s advise, I will instead use these wires as inputs to the amp and consequently run 2 sets of wires between the trunk and the subwoofers.
Yes you need the spacer. If you have the base stereo (Not Hifi or Hifi Pro/Logic 7) you don't have any amp and the wiring come directly from the HU. You need new wiring from the amp, so there is no need to use original plugs. But you need to tap in to the signal somewhere

I also have some spacer (Machine cut) if you want to buy. PM me for more info.
