As far as if you solder onto the speaker terminals, no, buy solder on male and female spade connectors (if you're soldering). If you're not soldering, you want crimp on spade connectors (female). The positive terminal is the larger size spade connector, and the negative side is the smaller size spade connector.
So I'm getting components and 6x9s... lets see I need 12 of these correct? And that will allow me to make my connections... Sorry I'm just a beginner
Yup, i'm an A$$hole.

The spade terminals are a slight bit more expensive, but you can get around 25 sets of them (male and female) for about $5, instead of the cardomain price of $2.95 for 1 sets
