Jim,
I believe the two different connections are:
1 from the amp and the other feeds the small speakers in the rear hatch area.
I read that it is recommended to eliminate hooking up the small rear hatch speakers are they are a waste anyway.

Jim,
Sorry for the late response. The foam tape is to be installed inside the factory grill frame (adhesive doesnt stick well to the HDPE used for the adapters). Screw the Earthquake driver into the back of the adapter, and then the assembly fits in to the grill shell with the foam tape. Re-use the factory mounting screws to hold the entire assembly in the B-pillar. When screwing the assembly into the B-pillar, everything will draw tight, and the foam tape will compress creating a good seal.
Hope that helps,
Hans

There should have been a small zip-loc baggie with two pieces of foam tape. Double check and make sure it didn't get stuck in the packing material. I can drop it in the mail if I somehow left it out of your box.
Thanks

As far as the rear speaker wiring--I disconnected them and don't think I am missing a thing.
Kudos to Hans for another great product! Keep them coming!

Might as well add, found the discussion on rear drivers in the front-speaker thread, the recommendation was to delete/abandon them for the upgrade installs.
Looks like I'm replacing these:
Must've been a costly install with the Denon h/u (since removed) back in the day!
