Apply Damplifer
Place Guerrilla Glue on Damplifier Aluminum
Stick the flat side down on the Guerrilla Glue and hold? Ridges face the interior slash back of the door speaker?

Sorry, just got back and read this question.
The Speaker tweakers used to ship with cyanoacrylate gel (super glue gel) which is basically thick and globby and will form a permanent attachment. I'm not sure of the composition of Guerrilla Glue, but if it's an permanent glue that bonds at the molecular level like super glue then it should be fine.
When I installed it... I put a piece of Damplifier on underneath so that had a surface to bond to. Then I put the cyanoacrylate gel on the flat back of the Speaker Tweaker and then slipped it inside and held it in place for about a minute. Ridge side goes out and behind the speaker, and you will have to fold one edge around the door beam to fit in directly.
When I did my Civic... I actually used Damplifier and glued clumps of closed cell foam to build up a platform on either side of the door beam so the Speaker Tweaker fit flat, but I figured that there was little benefit because all it is supposed to do is break up the back wave off the speaker and it didn't need to stay flat to do it.
I'm pretty sure someone will buy the extra set of Speaker Tweakers off you, or you could install them behind the rear speakers if you wind up replacing them.
