Default Just ordered component system...what else do I need?

Just ordered some infinity 605cs componenets. I know I'm gonna have to cut the back outta the stock bracket, but what else do I need to do? I've read about people using baffles, dynomat, etc... can someone explain that stuff?

it would be a good idea to use dynamat and baffles. the baffle will protect the speaker from the elements, wind, rain, dust and dirt. the dynamat will significantly reduce the road noise let into the car and will also reduce any vibrating you may have, and makes your speakers sound quite a bit better.

instead of cutting the stock baffles, I recomend making new ones out of MDF and mount the speakers with them... then dynamat the whole door, removing the plastic vapor barrier... then the whole door acts as a "cabinet" for the mid-bass.

This might sound kinda dumb, but how do you make a baffle out of mdf?
