Speaker baffles.

[Loz]

This a new one on me.

Closed cell foam pockets that you sit the speaker in before mounting it in the door, the idea is the baffle will protect the speaker from water & dirt.

I like the idea but... won't that ruin the sound?

The site states:

They also maximize speaker performance by isolating the correct frequency responses while damping reverberation in the sheet metal and panel-to-frame resonance.

Means absolutely SFA to me

PS. That's a TLI by the way -)

Been around for ages.
A bit like dynamat in the way they work.

It basically means that you don't loose sound into the door it keeps the sound in the cabin.

But aren't car speakers supposed be free air, using the boot space/door cavity to work properly?

TFT. :amuse:

In a sub application then yes you'd be right.
But for mid and high end you don't want any of the sounds to be lost in the door.
If you use the door speakers as added bass then no I wouldn't imagine they'd work but for mid and high yes they will improve sound as none will be lost in the door.

Hmm.. I suppose the only way to know for sure is buy some & compare before & afters.

Give them a try I can't see them doing any harm.
But remember not to put any bass through the speakers they will be mounted to.
