I used car speakers as well, but I used some of the products from this site to sheild my speakers:

http://www.lessemf.com/faq-shie.html#speakers

That is the tutorial on their site on how to shield the speakers, but they also sell the metal sheets.  The stuff works great, I've never had a problem since I got this stuff installed, and I hear that the bucking magnets can mess with yoru speaker performance (so that's why I chose this solution instead).

If you do go this route, my only suggestion is to wear nice thick work gloves when installing (I ripped up my hands on all the little metal edges and slivers).

Can anyone elaborate more on how bucking magnets mess with speaker performance?

Because from a cost stand point:
2 car speakers
a) 2 bucking magnets = ~$2
b) MagnetShield and JointShield = ~$25

BIG difference!
