Baffles are a huge improvement in over all quality and feel there is value in purchasing these with speakers.

I have been using baffles for a long time now and I am never disappointed. I strongly recommend them if you are installing from speakers free air. These baffles will not only protect them but also clean up that hollow in the air sound commonly found in most free air installed speakers.

I've installed these XTC speaker baffles in my vehicles before. Not only great for sound performance but adds protection as well!

I purchased these speakers to replace the 18 year old blown out factory speakers in my Geo Metro. I have a 50 mile per day commute and wanted to hear my music without all of the ferocious distortion. I don't listen to the radio very loud, so these work just fine. In my noisy car the comfortable listening volume is 16 - 20; these speaker don't start to distort until around 30. I'm well please with the speakers the price and especially Crutchfield for making everything so easy.

First time buyer of the baffles no problems or complaints.

easy to use, keeps the noise down, helps keep moisture out of speakers.

Toyota Corolla - Door speakers and rear hatchback speakers. 4" and 5" sizes.

These were pointless for my car. I compared the sound with and without them,
and I absolutely preferred them without the baffles. The back speakers actually
sit in a tuned port enclosure, so I lost that effect by installing these (I was
unaware of the enclosure until I took off the covers.)

The front door speakers are smaller, and having the baffle installed killed off
some of the depth of the bass coming from the space behind the door panel. Say
what you want about the sound "quality", tightness, etc., but without any other
speakers up front, the low-end sound seemed to just go away when I had the
baffles installed.

This might be fine if you have other speakers filling in those gaps in sound,
but for me, these things ended up in the trash can.

I'm not saying they don't work, but just not for me and 15-year old Corolla.

These are simple and good quality. Easy to work with & they do the trick.

Definately improved sound quality and eliminated the rattle in the dash but
the amount of torque required to hold down the speaker is enough to tear
a hole while mounting.

This ones DO change the way speakers sound...
Prior to the installation, the sound was OK but lacked some body; after these were installed, the sound gained a lot of consistency, similar as if the loudness control of your receiver has been just activated.
They don´t add any bass at all, sorry, but that character is part of the speaker desing per se instead of any accesory you may add.

I bought these for my install for a 2005 wrx. The speakers are polk db400's. First off, I made the mistake of not testing the sound of the speakers without the baffles. Anyway, the system sounded good with the baffles in but I have a sub in the car so I didnt realize how much bass I was loosing. So I turned off the subwoofer and found out the speakers had like no midbass, I was dissapointed and not pleased after that. They say these baffles improve bass response not kill it! Knowing these are great speakers from a previous install I knew it had to be the baffles. I called Polk support to find out what they thought about the baffles and the tech said that would completely kill the sound of the driver. So I took my door cards off, pulled the speakers out and cut the baffle backs in half so air flow was good, but still had protection from water coming off the windows above; looks like a speaker hood. The end result was nothing but great sound with some protection but the audio was the way it was intended for. I only recommend this product if you properly vent the rear of the driver othervise dont be talked into buying these.

These are a "must have," especially if you have small speakers. Even with bass blockers, which helped a little, installed on my 4 inch Pioneer TS-G1040Rs, they still bottomed out during sudden bass thumps. Having these baffles behind each one seals up the rearends so the woofer cone has a bit of cushion. They sound WAY better now!
