I bought a 2 sets of 6.5" components to replace my oem speakers. I know I need the adapter plates to install the components into the rear 6x9 opening and front 5.25" opening but is there anything else I need? I've heard some people mention poor bass because of it being "free air"? What exactly is that? What do I have to do to get the best possible sound quality out of my components? Btw, its going into a 04 accord coupe if that helps. I've heard some people mentioning baffles for better bass quality, does that really work? If so, i've seen foam baffles and plastic baffles, which are better? Sorry about all these questions but if you dont already know, I'm a newbie but I want to learn a lot. Thanks.
