Default what are those aftermarket speaker to speaker wire adapter thingys called??

these were on my first civic but dont have them anymore...and i wanna kno where to get some...its not a harness, but its used to connect your aftermarket speakers to your speaker wires without wrapping the threads of the speaker wire around the aftermarket speaker +/- inputs...but one end of the adapter thing pinches the speaker wires while the other end just plugs right into the speakers...anyone kno what im talkin bout??

yea the spade terminal connects to the aftermarket speakers, and the other end is like a circle that you pinch the speaker wires...i dont know how else to explain it and i have no pics...anyone else might have an idea??

For most speakers you need a 0.250 for the pos. (+) term. and a 0.110 for the neg. (-). 94

Look, just go to Circuit City and ask for a speaker adapter harness for your particular car. I don't know if that's what you're talking about exactly, but that is what you want. It will plug into the speaker plugs and have quick disconnect outputs for your aftermarket speakers.
