Yes it made a difference. The sound is more crisp and the bass is cleaner. I have no amp or sub as of yet.
In the package with the db651's there are plastic rings with multiple ears for mounting. I snapped off all ears. In the existing cut-out, I placed the baffle and then the plastic ring. Secured it will 6 screws. Then mount the speaker with the foam ring and grill.
Yes, trim the exposed foam from the baffle.
Mark..I am going to install my speakers next weekend. I got them out the box today. I am wondering why do I need to use the plastic rings? The plastic ring, almost seems like a spacer if needed. Why cant you just put the rubber gasket, then speaker and then grill? Also, how did you work in your baffles? I looked at them at a local stereo store and they are much thicker than I thought they would be...unless the ones from Crutchfield are much thinner. The baffles I looked at were the same brand as the one from Crutchfield.
