I was going to go hunt down some XTC speaker baffles for my door speakers and can't find anyone who sells them, or uses them anymore? Should I even bother?

Don't waste your time or money... They are a joke. Pretty much any speaker you use is not designed to work in a confined space like that. If you use these you will have absolutely NO mibass and your speakers will sound like butt...

Yeah. Go read the reviews for them online. Like one out of every 12-15 people actually likes them. There's far more people saying they muffle the speakers way more than they help.

Surrounding your speakers with foam has NO advantages. Makes absolutely NO sense....

Thanks for the replies. I've been out of the game for a long time, so I'm still trying to catch up on what's good and what's not. I figured that baffles are pointless when I saw that nobody is selling them anymore. I am putting a layer of EDEAD V1se on the inner and outer skins of the doors, so that should help.

Deadening the doors will increase midbass big time....

Some speakers will also benefit from sealing up the doors. I know mine did. Try running them open for a while first then just seal one and see if it makes a difference.

 

[P-Dizzle]

Yeah but you have subs in your doors chad...

 

[t22a80]

No I dont! They are only 6.5's with 30oz magnets that play 10-40K Hz with 10mm of X max.....

OK...stupid question time, but I just wanna make sure I am reading this right. Are speaker baffles some type of fitting that goes around the edges of the speaker to compensate for it not fitting in the door, and thereby making them more secure? If that is right here is my next question.

I was told by a reputable local car audio dealer that I could (if I wanted to) do 2 sets 6.5" of component speakers(JL Audio C5-650's) to compensate for having those 2 10W3's I have, and have more of a presence in the high/mid range. Is this a good suggestion, is it overkill, or should I just go with one set of 6.5 components, and then a set of 63/4"? Your thoughts?

The XTC baffles are foam and are not an adaptor of any sort. If you have the money run components front and rear. CDT, Quart and Boston all make better comps than JL....

I thought the main purpose was to keep water off the speakers.

They try to sell you on the fact that they will keep moisture out and make your speakers sound better.

When in reality all they do is reverse triangulate the phase signal of your flux capacitor, and thereby F-up everything.
