Ok got my component set today and looking at installing this evening. I am assuming that I don't want to just wrap bare wire around the connection points on the crossovers. I would probably want to crimp connectors on these right? If so where can I buy these locally? Best Buy, Home Depot?

Also what size spade connectors are needed for the speakers? Are these standard?

Also what guage is standard speaker wire? 16?

16awg wire should be fine.

For the spade connectors you can get them at your local home improvement store, or try walmart.

I don't know the exact size of your's as there isn't a standard. You can pick up a "kit" that contains like 20 of each size and contains ~10 different sizes for under $10
