I don't know what you mean by "clip attached to the car" but there should be 2 wires leading to each speaker. One is the positive lead and the other the negative lead. Usually, the solid color wire goes to the positive terminal and the striped cored wire goes to the negative. Keeping that in mind, the sound quality will be the same provided you connect the wires the same way on both sides. Look at your speakers and determine which terminal they have marked as positive (usually a + sign or paint dot) and hook them up that way. If you are concerned about whether you have the right and left side wires correct, after you have the radio powered up, disconnect one of the leads and listen to the sound. If it is coming from the correct side, reconnect it and finish the installation. If it is coming from the wrong side, swap the wires side to side and finish the installation.
