Frustrated at having half done projects and their bits everywhere

[Adriel]

Decided that enough was enough and I am going to take a break and do something fun for the Mercedes. Long time ago bought a set of Kicker speakers for the rear. It seems they will just barely fit.

So, got a few questions.

Does the quality of the crimp affect sound quality? The P.O. had a shop install speakers on the sides of the cargo compartment (take up a lot of space I need as every road trip crammed to the roof with stuff) and so one of the stock connectors is cut off. So, thinking best to cut the other and crimp the new connections that came with the speakers.

Can the magnet be touching the body? Think I got a couple millimeters, but just figure I should ask if I need to put some padding in.

Does the plastic ring on the tweeter do anything? I am thinking if it can be filed down just insure it isn't hitting the cover. I don't care about looks since these will not be visible.

Thank you all in advance for the help!
