Works great. Added depth to the speakers sound.

Bought these with the Infinity Reference speakers for my shaker 500 07 mustang gt. I your putting Speakers in your door and it doesn't have an enclosure, these are a must!

I agree with what most others have said about this product - it significantly cuts
the bass. Maybe if I had a subwoofer it would be fine, but I don't and even cutting
a large port hole as described in other reviews cut the bass too much for me.
However, I still wanted some protection because when I installed them there
was still a lot of moisture within the door from a recent rain and there was a lot of
corrosion on one of my pairs of speakers (4 years old) So after several days, I
removed the baffles and cut them so only the top half of the shell was left to form
a protective hood over the speaker. It sounded much better after that and I think
that I have enough protection from dripping water.

Worked great with my new speakers installed in my 2000 Ford Ranger truck.

I purchased a set of these when I ordered a set of the Polk Audio db571 speakers. I have them installed in a 97 Ford Ranger pickup in the front doors along with a Kenwood HU. Like some of the reviews here I cut a hole in the back about the size of a fifty-cent piece to act as a port as I thought the baffle muffled the sound without the hole, plus it made a nice spot to run the wires out of. I actually tried my new speakers without the baffles, and then with the baffles, and again with the baffles and the hole cut out of them. In my opinion they made a huge improvement in bass response. I would highly recommend using them and doing some experimentation.

I always like to leave a comment about Crutchfield any time I leave a review and this is no different. I would like to thank Bill Crutchfield for putting together a very customer friendly customer service department, your people are the best, period! I have been treated with nothing but courtesy and professionalism when ever I have called or emailed. I don't mean to go on and on but in this day where customer service is a "lost art" it's really nice to know there's a company out there that still delivers and I would say this is 75% of the reason I purchase from Crutchfield. Plus their products are priced in everyone's range and selection is incredible. Great job!

Of course theres some custom fitment issues i ran into, but nothing i couldn't handle.
These really do make them cheap speakers sound like $200 speakers. Highly recommend.

It is nice to know that my new JL 5x7's are protected from the elements. Nice product.

I purchased four of these to help protect my new Infinity Reference speakers I installed in my 94 Cougar. I read some reviews here that said that these will kill the bass coming the speakers, but I really disagree. I tried the speakers both with and without the baffles, and found that the sound is better with them in there.

I will admit that I am not an audiophile by any stretch, but for what I have installed (a JVC head unit and Infinity Reference speakers) in all the stock locations these worked out really well, are easy to trim and if you hate them, they will come right out.

For those who purchase these baffles thinking they were going to make some sort of huge difference in your sound, go back and do a little more research. These things basically do 2 things very well, depending on your enclosures they will effect the bass sounds coming from your speakers. In my ford pickup when I opened up the doors and rear panels I saw raw metal all around the speaker locations. I'm thinking Gee.... metal doesn't really make a good speaker box! So after I placed these baffles in the speaker openings they immeadatly started to reduce the hard refllective sound and - yes - increased my low frequencies sounds quite noticeably! Secondly, should water or ice or dust and 'whatever else' get in there, the speakers are protected. End of story! And for the few bucks they cost I'm thinking it was well worth it and in-fact I'm getting a second pair for the rear speakers too now that I've seen the metal inside my 2006 Ford ranger.

The description said they would work for either 5 x 7 or 6 x 9. They are a little skimpy for a 6 x 9 . Since I was stappling them down to a shroud,I was able to stretch them to make them fit, otherwise they would never have worked for a 6 x 9.

I put these behind a set of Boston Acoustic SL80 speakers. They sounded more natural than without. I am using 300 hz bass blockers so maximum bass was not my goal. That is what mid bass and subwoofers are for. If you don't care about water protection and want to weigh your car down with Dynamat then you probably don't need these.

Baffles perform as they should-protect the speakers from the elements. There may or may not be any enhancement to the bass emanating from the speakers. Bass enhancement is not the intended purpose of implementing the use of a baffle.

The baffles distorted the bass in my front speakers, I have removed them from the front and the speakers sound great.

I bought this
product for the main
purpose of keeping
my speakers dry and
clean. However, i
have noticed some
what of a gain in
performance from my
speakers. The bass
isn't louder, but it
is clearer. It's
like these baffles
keep the bass from
being distorted or
from being absorbed
by little pieces on
the inside of the
door. I like them so
much, i just
purchased a set for
my rear 5x7's. I
recommend this for
anyone who is in to
clear sound.

This product didn't improve my bass, it destroyed it, but I'm not looking for
bass response in speakers, which is why I'm in the middle of installing a
subwoofer. The foam baffles probably will protect against water damage
however.

First of all for people using these to try and achieve vast amounts of sound quality and response improvement, this is probably isn't your best bet, but this will not effect the speaker performance in a negative manner. If you are using these to improve performance try coating these a couple times with a sound deadening material. Maker sure they have already conformed to the location in which you will be installing these and that you already have the speaker wire installed into the baffle. This will make them much stiffer and rigid, and will make it much more like an enclosure. If you are buying these to help protect your invest you are making a wise choice. As with most products there are many possibilities. Use you imagination and you can come up with some very useful tips and ideas. Good Luck.

Speaker baffles do exactly what there are supposed to do. They protect your speakers (investment) from wind and moisture, and while at times can enhance the performance the same way a subwoofer box does for a subwoofer. Don't mislead yourself by adding a baffle just to increase the performance of a particular brand of speaker. For those who have tried and have had luck increasing the performance of the unit, good for you. As for the people who have not, please try to inform yourself with the knowledge necessary to make the improvements that you are looking for, before immediately criticizing a certain product. And do not rely on input of the neighorhood kid who has been doing this for years. He may not know all there is to know as I do not know all there is to know in this field. One tip for those who are having sound quality issues, try to port the encloser. If you want to get fancy, create a port from the vehicles interior to the baffle encloser (in the same manner a blower motor (the thing that forces air out the vents of your car) is vented with a rubber tube) this will provide you a little more protection. Yes , this may involve more work than you may have thought. Welcome to customizing a whole new world of endless possibilities. If in doubt consult a professional audio / performance shop there price includes years of instruction and knowledge from componet manufactures. Have fun! Inform yourself and last but not least be SAFE!

I'm sure these work well inside leaky vehicles, but they completely kill the bass. Made my brand new Polks sound like a PC system speaker. If you hate the bass, these are for you!

This is not a reflection on Crutchfield, everything else about the installation of my order went flawlessly.

If you have leakage issues, or your speakers are at risk of environmental damage, then these will suit your purpose.
I bought them hoping to clean up the sound a little, and reduce the rattle in one door. These did nothing but reduce performance. Highs from my 5x7s were not affected, but any low frequency sound suffered so drastically that I took these out the same day I installed them. The bass was simply horrific.
For anyone with an ear for quality sound, I would not recommend these.
They got to me really fast, though. I'll buy again Crutchfield!

These baffles offer excellent protection for your speakers and (probably) keep out road noise, but otherwise they don't really offer anything in terms of better sound or bass response (at least that's my experience). I tried my new speakers with and without these and didn't see a difference; bass and treble were both the same. (I didn't have any problems with highs or vocals sounding "muddy".) I still used them anyway as protection from dust and moisture though. Very cheap...considering you're spending money on speakers, why not add some protection to give them a longer lifetime? I had to trim off a little on the corners (basically rounding them off) so they'd fit better in my car, and I used the scissors to also poke a small hole in the bottom to run the wire through, but other than that - these worked great.
