Default Door speaker protector

what kind of speaker protector should I use inside my C4 door?

I see the foam looking things, what is the best to use, I assume it helps with the sound as well.

I think they are a good idea. I am using them on my C6 to protect the speakers.. Remember to cut a hole in the bottom. The average 6.5' speaker requires about 1.3 cubic feet of air volume behind the speaker. Therefore a speaker baffle is too small. The speaker must have access to the inner door cavity.

You mean the foam cups that go on the back of the speaker?
Yeah, they're OK as long as you cut the underside off. if you "trap" the back of the speaker in it, your sound will go to ****.
