Our take on the XTC 4" Speaker Baffles

Waterproof foam baffles from XTC fit behind speakers to keep them clean and dry. They compress easily to fit the installation, and form a mounting seal that can reduce panel vibration. Use these speaker baffles along with a Dynamat kit when you install your new speakers, and you'll enjoy improved sound and performance.

These baffles will protect your speakers. In many applications we recommend that you cut a hole in the bottom of the baffle, or remove the entire bottom of the baffle, to maintain good bass response while still protecting your speaker from dirt and water damage. Call one of our Advisors if you have questions — they'll be happy to share their expertise with you.

    Pros:
    Adds sound performance! Aids in speaker protection!
    Cons:
    None!

    Just what I was looking for

    Written By Stormy, Twin Cities, MN on Thursday, March 15, 2012
    Installed in a 1994 Geo Metro
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    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.
    Pros:
    price, sound quality at low to mid volume
    Cons:
    not a lot of range, base isn't great, distorts at high volume.

    Choose wisely, doesn't help everybody!

    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.

    XTC 4" Speaker Baffles

    Written By jason, Newport Beach, CA on Thursday, February 26, 2009
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    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.

    A change from thin to bodacious!

    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.

    Good protection, bad sound!

    Written By Kahres05, Fleetwood, PA on Monday, March 12, 2007
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    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.

    XTC 4" Speaker Baffles

    Written By Kenneth, Skamokawa, WA on Friday, September 02, 2005
    Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
     
    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!
