Default '98 Civic Ex Speaker replacement?

Hello! This is my first post here. I have a '98 Honda Civic EX 4 Door Sedan Automatic 4-speed.

Ever since I've had it, the front passenger door speaker has not worked. Finally popped off the speaker lid and found that the speaker is gone! The only thing there is two frayed wires.

I believe I've found the appropriate replacement part, #39120-SV4-A01, but It looks like it's just the speaker, and I'm unsure how I would attach it, as the connector clip in the door is missing. I'm wondering if this is something where I can strip the wire and wrap it directly to the speaker somehow, or should I try to find replacement wiring/connector?

I am a novice, but I'm trying to learn how to do repairs in my vehicle, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

why not just go buy aftermarket speakers from best buy/ wal mart/ wherever?

Buy aftermarket speakers, buy some female spade connectors, crimp them on or solder them if you prefer, you'll be able to plug in your speakers to the factory wiring. Pretty simple.

OK, thanks. I was thinking about buying the Honda part because it's only like $15 online, but aftermarket would probably sound better anyway, and I guess it wouldn't hurt to replace both at this point.
I watched a video online, it looks like something I can do, just need to borrow my buddy's tools.
As I said, I'm a total novice to this stuff.
