Default speaker connector size?

ok, threw away the little stock connectors (the Kappa's didn't use connectors) and I need to get some more.

What size is the big one and what size is the little one (the spade type connectors that attach directly to the speaker base)

Can I just get them at the local car audio store?

I don't mind looking like a dumbass in front of you guys but I hate walking into a store and not knowing what to ask for

*** edit ***

these are for Arc Moto 602's

For the Moto's, I thinking they might be 2.8mm. I'm going to check Ace Hardware tomorrow.

I think you're correct...

1/4 worked for the large part but the small is small. They didn't have 1/8 but i did get some .187" or 4.74mm and they are about 2x too big so 2.8mm should do it. I'll stop by Ace on my way to work and see what they have.

thanks guys

Ace didn't have anything but I did find gold plated audio connectors at Autozone.

6.4mm (1/4") part #84542
2.79mm (.187") part #84546

Ace didn't have them here either. Will have to go to Autozone next time I'm in town.
How do they fit?

The 2.79mm are still too big but they will work I'll snap a pic later, too lazy to go back downstairs right now

Uploading a video of the 602's pushed by the B@ now then I'm headed to Walmart for some polyfill, spray glue and RTV sealant

The .187" are what I'm using for now. Made four 3" pigtail extension to convert from stock to the Moto's.
Looking forward to the video.
