Speaker wires loose

I own a 99 Grand Prix GT, standard (not Bose) sound system, stock head unit. I replaced my 6x9's with Pioneers, and was very happy with the sound. However, my passenger side speaker started cracking and eventually just stoped working, and I figured I blew it. I jiggled the wire the other day, though, and it worked for a while. The best I can tell, I think the wires aren't tight enough where they connect. I just wrapped the wires around the connection since the plastic clips that were on the wiring before wouldn't work. Anyone know where I can get the plastic clips to clip the wires? I can just keep tightening them, but it gets annoying after a while. Thanks in advance.

Any place that offers automotive wiring. Get terminal connects.

Do you mean something like this:

I assume it's some sort of crimp terminal. You can get them at Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, or an auto parts store.
Online, check eBay or www.partsexpress.com
What happened with the subs you had, did you ever hook them up?

Yeah those crimp connects will work. I think it's two different sizes though.

Unfortunately, no, havn't gotten my subs hooked up, and with how much I owe my parents this summer, I doubt I'll have the money to do it soon. The stuff you guys posted looks like what I'm looking for, the stock ones were all plastic and just held the wires, but it's the same concept. Thanks.
