Use alpine baffle?

[tniemuth95]

Hey guys, just got my alpine SPR-60 6.5" in today and they came with a plastic baffle/mount thingy with some holes drilled in it. I had planned on using a 1/2" mdf baffle between the speaker and the door panel. Should I put this plastic baffle (it's only 1/4" thick) between the speaker and the mdf? Or is it pretty much useless? Thanks guys!

you don't need to use the plastic baffle. you can, it won't hurt and if you need the extra depth it is fine.

I always keep these around the shop b/c I use them all the time. that's just my personal preference. I screw these to the panel than the speaker to the baffle. in your case I would not use them but i'd keep them around for later.
