JBL LC-S960 Car Speaker Questions & Answers
Same as before
That is correct. I would solder if you cant make the connectors. they should have two diff sized spades on them.(usually) I would definately get a crimp kit with crimpers and asst connectors to start. Also make sure your amp has adequate gnd and large enough power wire with an inline fuse right off the source. I can make a diagram for that too if you need.
Speaker installment
I would run a 250-500 watt 2 channel high input capable amp. run the original wires to the orginal speakers and jump off the original wires to the amp to push the secondary 6X9's you have. So my understanding is. you want the 4 original speakers and subs and add 2 additional speakers making 6 speakers not uncluding subs..
Head units care barely push 4 decent normal size speaker. Usually they are 30-55watt per channel. If you have 2 non sub speakers that are 250 watt max.. that's 500 total but don't push the amp all the way...start with it at 1/4 and listen to your stereo at a higher than nominal volume slowly turning up the amp.

Wiring on back of head unit
You don't need to change the cables from the head unit on. Just strip of the end of the wires where the old speakers are and crimp on the proper connectors to connect them. Alternatively you can just solder the wires directly to the speakers. I always **** splice at least 6" of wires onto the end so you have more wire to work. The only reason you would change the wires would be because you are putting more than 200 watts per channel. You didn't speak of an amp so no worries.

6x9s in a clio
forget it...
buy some speaker cable & run them from the head unit to the boot.
from the back of the stereo connect as follows:
Rear Left
green + to Big Spade on speaker
green/black - to Small Spade on speaker
Rear Right
purple + to Big Spade on speaker
purple/black - to Small Spade on speaker
