Don't worry about speaker clips, do what Phateless suggests. It's easier and saves time and money and as for reverse polarity, not an issue. Your new speakers should easily identify the connectors as + or -. The biggest issue for me was the stock wiring was so damn short that you couldn't connect the speakers to the stock wiring unless you had the speakers mounted onto the rear deck. It's a lot more difficult to connect your wires to the speakers from inside the trunk than it is from the back seat. Maybe it's just my fat fingers or lack of agility.
