Default hooking up speakers... need help

i have a pair of Pioneer Rev 160 6.5's and was wondering how i would go about hooking them up to rca cables. One of my friends said i would need spade connectors, so i went about bought them at circuit city. They gave me Solderless Insulated Spade Tongues and it really doesnt look like what i will b needing. Any help on hooking these speakers to rca cables would help a lot. thanks.

what exactly are you trying to do? that would help us, why can't you just use normal speaker wire?

Why on Earth are you trying to hook speakers up to RCA cables?! Also, you'll need female spade connectors, not the male (tongues), when you hook them up. RCA cables are designed to handle low power material, not amplified signals...use standard speaker wire from Wal-Mart.
