"soft" speaker baffles?
What is this stuff I keep seeing recently in door installations used for
baffles? It's soft, almost like several layers of dynamat or something. Just curious. |

Those are those foam things that go on the back of speakers to protect them from the elements, right? That's not what I'm talking about. What I;m speaking of is a sheet of something used to mount your speakers on in doors. You know, instead of wood, metal, or abs. |

where did you find that?
typicly installers mount right to the car metal in the doors. Sometimes with a sheet of dynamat. occasionally when the speaker needs to be spaced out or is of a different size a wood spacer or adapter is made.

But what I saw recently was two different installations by two different shops that used some flexible material, that felt something like a thicker dynamat. I had never seen that before until now. I was wondering if anyone else has seen it. |

I have often softened the back of my wooden speaker
baffle boards that I make with sticky sided foam or carpet spray adhesived to the back of the boards so that it makes a better more airtight seal to the metal door. Problem is though, not all doors have room behind the factory door grill for anything that makes the speaker stick out more.

I was able to press this stuff in and it gave way a little! It's definitely not wood or metal. As I said, it's like a thicker version of dynamat. It doesn't seem to me to be a very good solution. I was just wondering what the deal is. |

it sounds kinda neat, but these little companies come
and then go out of biz so fast its hard to keep up with em... occasionally somethng like that might solve a problem of getting a good seal on a door speaker but if it costs anything it may be hard to justify for the average installer... Like I said when I need something like that I can ussually make due with free stuff laying around the shop....
