suggestions when putting new speakers

ok i'm putting in new speakers. what are some suggestions to do, in order to protect and make the response better..has anyone seen those speaker kits, which is a plastic piece that goes on the back of the speaker and all around it.. will it fit our cars?

and how about thos wooden side things that are the circumference of the speaker..is it worth it?, compared to the plastic?

invest in some good deadening 1st...with the deadening you can get away with the plastic rings.

Instead of being random, how about being original and smart. You look like a moron and proove your immaturity on here quite often. If you're an installer wouldn't you have answers for 99% of the questions you're asking?

So?

Who does installs with wet feet? And how soaked were your feet to mess up the computer?

What exactly was the complication with finding those pinouts/wire colors?

Yes he does.

Yes.

Cool.

Not sure if its relays or compatible modules.

Um, you said you walked in with wet feet and the computer broke.
