Product Research
Features
Product Overview: These acoustic baffles are designed to be placed behind car speakers to protect the speaker from moisture and dirt which can damage speaker components. Along with providing a sealed chamber, they also form a mounting seal between the speaker and the mounting surface to eliminate panel to frame resonance. Baffles will improve door acoustics by reducing road noise and vibrations transferred to the back of the speaker cone. The baffles are pliable and can be compressed to fit most applications.

Q
Should I stuff cotton in the baffles like they did in my bass box?

might be a good idea, as mine are in an 04 silverado king cab, and at full volume they will vibrate a little on the doors!, just haven't had the time to pull mine back out and do it, but it does make the sound better than just being in the door!

The foam they are made of doesn't cause any unnecessary noises on mine, and have decent bass for a truck Baffle.

I didn't try that but by themselves they sound awesome and made a big difference.

I either purchased an isolation foam piece or they came with them. I can't remember, but make sure whatever you use doesn't impede any speaker movement.

I didn't use the speaker baffles, they did not fit. Don't waste your money.

No you don't. I made a small slit to run my wires through but no holes.

Q
what kind of benefit in sound should I expect from jbl gx640s in a 1991 GMC Sierra if I add speaker baffles and insulation to the towers in the rear?

Thanks guys I hope this adds greater sound and Ross the rattle that my speakers have currently in looking for some better 4x6 to upgrade to because the jbl are great for Latino music and Rock like iron maiden and ace but not too good for artists like ice cube, they are overwhelmed completely by some songs and can't reproduce the bass correctly at higher volume

I installed new speakers in my 2005 Silverado a few years ago. Initially I didn't install the baffles. I immediately noted a "tinny" sound. I then added the baffles and the speakers sound great.

Ricardo, I bought these for the back deck speakers in my 1987 Porsche 911 where I knew I had little depth and I thought I had an opening into the engine compartment. It turned out I was right on the first but wrong on the second. In theory, you would isolate the speakers from each other and produce perhaps a better bass response. In the end, I don't think I installed them because they wouldn't fit and the sound was good without them.

REduces any other unwanted noise or rattling they work pretty good

I'm not a Car Stereo installation expert, but I do know pro music studio sound, and have installed numerous hi-end car stereo systems. That being said - these Speaker Baffles are well worth every penny! They really don't help the sound - they are primarily to protect the speaker cone and frame from water and moisture, both of which ruin a speaker over time. If I'm not mistaken, for a door panel installation, you are supposed to drill a quarter-size hole opposite of where any moisture is present - i.e. if you are installing in a door panel, you drill or cut a quarter size hole on the lower part of the baffle - thus any water that seeps in from the window seal will not reach the speaker. The hole specifically allows the air-draft from the speaker movement to use the door panel as a speaker enclosure, thus enhancing the sound. Just make sure you order the correct size (including depth). I hope this helps.... ~ S in Austin Tx

I used this product to help my door speakers, any 4x6 needs help for sound. It fit well into the door with just minor modifications and helped the sound by more then double.
