Didn't install component tweeter baffles - does it matter?

    I just installed my Hertz k 165 component speakers. I forced the tweeters into the factory locations and put a couple dabs of rubber cement to hold them in place.

    Turns out the package included dedicated mounting hardware, bezels, and little plastic baffles for the back of the tweeter. (Actually doubt they'd even fit)

    Anyway, do I need any of that stuff? If I were starting from scratch I'd try to work it in but the speakers are already in the door. Pretty sure they'll be secure. Will leaving out the little baffles affect my sound quality? The OEM tweeters didn't have anything.

    Thanks

    Never mind. The box says they are "wedge mounts." Seems they're meant for the scenario where there is no factory tweeter grille.
