Just use them
WYATT from WHITEFISH, MT on 12/13/2022
1996 Toyota 4Runner
Just use these. They're not sexy and people won't see them. But, if you live in cold winter or places that rain and you don't use these, you can pull your speakers out out of your doors and see water all over them on wet days. If it's not water destroying your speakers, then it's dirt roads putting dust in them and in the voice coils. These are cheap. Just use them.
Pros: Protects door speakers from water and dust.
Cons: I imagine these could restrict air movement if severely undersized. But, I have strected 5.25" speaker baffles around 6.5 speakers and never experienced it air restriction issues.

Save your money - removed quickly and threw away.
Albert from NASSAU, NY on 6/10/2022
Don't waste your money. These are unneeded garbage add-ons. Just get dynomat if anything. These were put in behind Kicker 47k speakers and within an hour we were driven crazy with vibrations. Back to the shop to chase down the source. We found these were causing the vibrations, pulled them out and threw them away. Not even worth returning because Crutchfield charges you more than the cost to return.
Pros: Unknown.
Cons: Cheap and tight causing annoying vibrations.

get the fit right
Kyle from Melbourne, FL on 12/10/2021
better depth fitment than the standards but the sizing is WAY off these fit more like 5 1/4" rather than 6 1/2" openings, they had to be pulled a little bit just to make it around the speakers. :
Pros: cheap, better depth fitment
Cons: worse opening fitment.

Horrible for sound, great for keeping water out.
Marc from MACON, GA on 11/28/2021
These will kill bass response, and make your speakers sound like they're being played through a paper towel tube. I didn't know this when I ordered these with my Audio Frog G60S component speaker for installation in my 370Z. I got everything buttoned up and fired up the system and was less than impressed. The new speakers sounded hollow, sad, worse than the super cheap base model radio OE stuff. I scratched my head for a week trying to figure it out, plying with the EQ in the ILX-207 and it hit me, just google it. Everyone I found talking about baffles spoke about how they killed response. The end of work Saturday, 11/27/21) I popped the door panels off and removed them. WOW!!! Now these are speakers!!! They sounded more than night and day different, they sounded beautiful now! I'm sure these baffles are great for keeping water/moisture out of your new speakers but boy did they ruin the sound for me. Your mileage may vary, and at this price for a set you're not really out much if you don't like them. I'm going to try removing the backs of them and give them another shot, at least then my speakers are isolated somewhat from the sheet metal. If you get a set of baffles like these(closed in) and find your new, expensive speakers sound horrible, try removing these and giving it another listen.
Pros: Can keep the speakers safe from moisture(I assume) They're cheap.
Cons: Absolutely destroy bass response and overall sound(again, at least in my case).

Disappointing buzzing
Dan from ALTO, MI on 7/26/2021
I was really excited about using these. I installed them with the trim ring and it made a cool little enclosed pod that I just bolted back into the car. Shortly after that I noticed a buzzing sound for certain sounds/frequencies. I finally got around to taking my door apart yesterday to do some testing. Sounds around 200 Hz made the whole thing buzz really loudly. I tried stuffing it with polyfill and that did nothing. I removed the baffle and the speaker is back to sounding great. The only problem now is that I hear the passenger side doing the same thing. I really wanted to like these, came away disappointed by the resonance/buzzing issue. Seems by the other reviews that I'm the only one though.

Got a Chevy Truck? Get these.
Crutchfield customer from Albany, NY on 4/20/2021
I, like a lot of people who own an older Chevy (or GMC) truck, found myself with front door speakers that, inexplicably, didn't work. I found out that The General, in its infinite wisdom, had designed the weatherstripping on the windows in the doors in such a way that moisture is guaranteed to get inside. And over time that moisture is sure to destroy the speakers in the front doors. So, while some people may buy these things for acoustic reasons, I got them to protect the small investment I made in the replacement speakers I put in my doors. Installation was pretty easy--I held the baffles in place with tape to keep them from moving around. Nothing most people wouldn't figure out, but if you're putting these in, you may want to have some duct tape around.
Pros: Inexpensive, fit well, probably protective
Cons: None, really, except that these baffles require the installer to make some kind of cut for the cabling that, necessarily, needs to get through. It might make sense for the manufacturer to actually mold in some kind of reinforced opening. On the other hand, as I said in the "Pros", these are inexpensive, and as such, the small amount of work required to customize them is not really a big deal.

Beneficial
Crutchfield customer from FT LAUDERDALE, FL on 4/1/2021
works very well to optimize the smaller 6.5 inch bass frequencies in the Rear deck of a 19 Challenger. Requires minor trimming of a corner to clearance for one of the mounting screws of the Kicker speaker. Also, works well with the foam mounting tape around the speaker to ensure an airtight seal. Does require a small slit to allow for speaker connection to pass through.
Pros: Helps to boost bass frequencies from a smaller diameter speaker ( ie: 5.25 to 6.5 ).
Cons: requires trimming and proper positioning to align with mounting screws.

Does what it is designed to do
Crutchfield customer from Germantown, MD on 1/20/2021
Well, these are baffles and their main task is to keep the humidity out from the door speakers, and eliminate any rattle caused by the speakers, and these do a very good job at it. Some say that these baffles will rob you of the bass from your speakers, other say that these enhances the bass response by directing them forward, I say both the groups might be right, and both the groups might be wrong. I personally did not notice any loss of bass in my car. I think these do only what they are designed to do, protect the speakers, nothing less, nothing more. I never used the baffles in the past because I never knew they existed. Now I do, so I guess I will be using them in the future as well. For 8 bucks a pair, I think these are pretty good investment in extending the life of your speakers.

Crutchfield customer from Girard, OH on 8/11/2019
what is there to say about some foam? It appears it will protect the speaker from the elements. I cut a section out of the bottom for the wires to pass into the speaker. It doesn't seem to baffle the bass any. Speakers sound good, but are still breaking in. I may go back and open them up more if the bass seems lacking but for now they are ok. That isn't an issue with the baffle either, that is user preference.
Pros: seals speakers up
Cons: yet to be determined.

Was recommended that I get "something" to help protect the speakers from whatever might get into the car's door from the exterior and to better help direct the sound into the car instead of bouncing aimlessly around inside the door. Didn't think to run an experiment when I first installed my new speakers. Should have installed one of these baffles in one side and left it out of the opposite side to see if there's any real sound difference. Since the door speaker install is such a snap - literally anyone can do it - I think I'll go back in and remove the baffle from one side to see what kind of difference - if any - they make.

I bought these to protect the speakers in the doors of a 90 VW vanagon from environmental drip that is common up here in the PNW. Cut the backs out to allow the speaker to still breathe and paired them with hushmat behind the speaker to quiet the distortion. If you have an older car that has moisture coming down through the door seals these Are a must and Best bang for your buck for protecting the speakers.
Pros: -Cheap -easy to modify - protect speaker
Cons: - none

Richard from Sandown, NH on 8/26/2018
Fit perfect and expect they will do what they're intended to do - protect the speakers from water and dirt that slips in through the horizontal window channel. If your application includes speakers that function as woofers, don't forget to cut in a port at the bottom of the baffles. I suspect that's the reason for the one star rating from others who submitted reviews.
Pros: Fit perfect
Cons: None

Easy to install. Keeps the wet off.
Crutchfield customer from Locust Grove, OK on 4/23/2018
I have used these on several installs over the years. They do keep the speakers safe from water that gets inside the doors. I cut a larger than necessary hole on the bottom of cup to feed the wire through. The hole will let the woofer breathe. With no outlet the trapped air will prevent proper cone moment.

Protect your "re-investment"
Rus from Bumpass, VA on 3/26/2018
Chevrolet/GMC truck/SUV (e.g. Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado) have a design flaw that isn't covered under warranty. The door speakers get wet (from inside the door) and stop working. My first failed about 20K miles, the second, 40K. If you replace the speaker(s) without correcting the issue, you're going to get the same result, failed speakers. These baffles fit perfectly in the factory cut-out. I cut a small square at the BOTTOM of the baffle to allow the connection wire and for the speaker to "vent". With the baffle, installing the speaker was a bit more snug but, with extra effort, mission accomplished. Time will tell how this really works but, it's got to be significantly better than what General Motors had (or hadn't) designed.

Great Speaker protection
Carl from Byron, GA on 2/4/2018
I love these baffles. I have used them in several vehicles over the years. I have used them with Infinity, Polk Audio, Pioneer, and MB Quart speakers. They protect the speaker and improve the sound. They make the speaker tighter, like they are in a sealed enclosure. They are very easy to instal. Just remove the speaker, unplug it and set the baffles in. I just punch a very small hole in the bottom for the wires to come in, and remount the speaker, using the same screws and mounting holes. I will continue to use these baffles in the future.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to instal, offer better sound, and protect the speaker.
Cons: The only negative thing that I can think of is that you have to put a hole in them to get the wires to the speakers. But I always put mine on the bottom, which still protects everything.

These foam cup fit the contour of my speakers and speaker mounts perfectly (2006 Honda CRV). They also clear the power window aparatus in the down position. The foam cup eliminates the need for the speaker gasket.

Cut a HOLE
Crutchfield customer from San Diego, CA on 6/4/2017
Good protection from dirt and moisture. Make sure to cut a hole big enough for air to pass through about 1 inch or bigger in diameter on the bottom of the baffles otherwise there will be not enough air to move the woofer cone to have a good bass. The baffles will create a vacuum if there is not enough air passing through resulting in less bass response.

May not be needed.
Mark from Cary, NC on 11/9/2016
2015 Ford Fusion
I had 2 issues with these. 1) The door holes for the 6.5" OEM speakers were ~7". These did not fit well. 2) They reduce the size of the chamber behind the speaker, thus raising the resonant frequency of the assembly. My Polks are not known for their bass. The last thing I want to do is make them have less bass. Since the inside of my 1.5yr old Ford Fusion was virtually clean and was totally dry after going through the car wash, I determined these were not necessary. Unless you see signs of water or dirt infiltration inside your door, I would not recommend these. If you do have water and dirt in your door, they may be a good investment.
Pros: Will protect your speaker
Cons: Reduce bass and may not fit well.

Jason from Sterling Heights, MI on 10/22/2016

They are baffles, help deaden the sound from inside the door and keep speakers free from any water infiltration. Also helpful as a gasket, so no vibration from the speakers. I would only use these in doors, not for deck speakers as you lose some bass response.
Pros: Work as expected.
Cons: None

Nullified Bass Response
Jon from Indiana on 8/22/2016
2009 Chevrolet HHR
I too thought these items would provide some protection from the elements, however when I installed them the sound was so muffled and isolated (to me) it rendered the speakers useless. As soon as I removed them the sound I was expecting was there. The OEM speakers did not have anything like this and did not appear water damaged in any way. It appears I did not need them at all. While I suppose if you must have a very specific moisture issue them they might be useful but I regret ordering them. By the way, I ordered these because they popped up as (what I assume was) recommended by Crutchfield. I am disappointed. I feel like I just wasted my money. I have not use for them now.

Gasket & water protection in one
Icehawk from Miami, FL on 7/14/2016
These worked out great for my application - the speakers I was installing had just a little interference with door panel, the baffle was a great gasket to use to give a good, even seal. My previous upgraded speakers did not have any kind of rain shield and the output tabs had rusted off from where they attached to the spider so I want to make sure I did not make that mistake with my new speakers. I used JL C2-650x and they fit perfectly in the shallow depth ones - there actually is room to fit the regular length and that would be a bit more optimal most likely. They appear to be waterproof, I put water in one and it did not seep in at all. My only concern is that the speaker might get hot without room to breathe - I may cutout some of the bottom to take care of that. No idea if they change the sound but my speakers sound good so I am happy.
Pros: Waterproof, useful as gasket between speaker and mount
Cons: *maybe* would cause heat problems?

Cons: Suspect they reduce low end response (bass).

Makes sense.
AlexAloha from Kaneohe, HI on 4/28/2016
Was recommended to use these for front door Rockford Fosgate 6.5" component woofers. I'm not an audio expert enough to understand why they are not used in the stock speakers and why it was suggested for the replacements. As suggested, I did cut out a 1" diameter hole out the back "to let the speaker breathe". I did not do a with and without comparison, but am trusting they will better protect my new speakers and prevent any artifacts that could occur without them. Not sure why they were not recommended for the rear door 6.5" speakers.
Pros: Easy to install.
Cons: Unknown.

Protection where you need it.
Paul from Duncan, SC on 3/8/2016
These do exactly what you would expect. Perfect for isolating the speakers from the elements. Exposure to moisture in the door made to old speakers brittle and ultimately fail. I cut a small hole in the bottom for wires, otherwise installation was plug and play. Yes, they cut the bass, but look up baffle in the dictionary before you purchase, ok? Don't complain because they cut sound since that is what a baffle is designed for. If you want full sound (and bass) but still need to shelter your speakers, build a custom fiberglass (or other non-absorbant material) enclosure.
Pros: Performs as advertised.
Cons: None.

You gotta use the baffle........
Scott A. from Corona California on 1/18/2016
I've been buying these baffles for years. Every time I do a speaker install. Not only do these protect the back side of the speaker from dirt and moisture( yes, they both get inside your doors), but they also act as a gasket around your speake mount to provide vibration free mounting. OH, almost forgot the most important part: they keep the bass response clean and tight, coming out the front of the speakers and not filling you door........ If you don't use these for your installs, you should be. Even if you Matt your doors....
Pros: Keeps speaker clean and sound going where it should.
Cons: None

Protect your speakers
Richie from Georgia on 1/18/2016
My 08 Cobalt coupe is leaking water in the doors (apparently somewhat of a common issue). My factory speakers went dead due to corrosion from all the water. I put in new Pioneer 2-way speakers (part of a Bluetooth stereo and 4 speaker set, by the way great). I didn't feel like spending money for new speakers every year, so I gutted out the factory speaker frame (since they were dead) and mounted the new speakers into the frame, and between them I put the baffles. People complain that it kills their bass. I don't expect much bass from my 6.5" door 2-way speakers to begin with, but I did what the customer reps told me - cut a small hole on the bottom (not on top, so the water doesn't drip in it, this way it'll slide on the sides and not come in from the bottom defying gravity). You will need the hole to connect the wires anyway, and it fits in nicely. Also, since they offer two depth, chat with the representative. I almost ordered the big ones, until the knowledgeable staff told me my Cobalt only has so many inches of room in the doors and that I needed the "slim" version.
Pros: Tight fit Foam feels sturdy Great customer service (more a Crutchfield thing than the product) Two sizes available depending on the need Don't kill the bass that much
Cons: I guess price - I mean, it's a piece of foam

MB from Delaware on 12/23/2015
They work as advertised. Only challenge was the snug fit on Drivers side door/window. Had to ultimately cut the back the baffle so it didn't slow down the window in my daughters Ford Fiesta. May have worked fine if the Driver side window motor wasn't starting to show signs of weakness (and will ultimately need to be replaced). Only reason for 4 stars was based on my results due to my window motor, otherwise 5*
Pros: They're baffles...

They're baffles... They do the job.
Josh K from Texas on 11/18/2015
You can't really mess up baffles, they went on my speakers, installed it in my truck, and they're doing a good job, I'm sure. The reason for 4 stars, would have been nice to get a little card telling me how the baffle goes on, as in, when it comes to using an adapter to mount your speaker. I'm sure this is a no brainer for most, but I'm not experienced with audio installation (though I'm a quick learner), and I scratched my head for a minute when deciding if it goes speaker baffle adapter, or speaker adapter baffle, but I figured it out. Also, maybe a punch out hole in the baffle to run your wire through, not that you can't just poke one with a screw driver, but it would be a nice thought.

These are dumb
Crutchfield customer from Columbia, MO on 7/23/2015
2004 Subaru Forester
These baffles are pretty much pointless. While they may provide some protection in situations where a speaker is exposed to a lot of moisture and dirt, they are way to enclosing and don't give speakers any chance to breathe. Furthermore, the most frustrating part is that these come with no packaging, literature, or instructions of any type and so a user has no idea on the ideal installation method and way to use them. In-all, I probably won't even use these in my installation and just wasted the money on two pairs of them.
