Default Speaker baffles / speaker adaptors

Not sure where to post this info, but to save time & research for people, I found these 6.5" speaker baffles on ebay:

$16.99 for the fronts + $5.99 shipping.

only thing is the fitment sucks. I've had these and they don't line up at all. ED's are much better.

Thanks for your input.
Do you have a link to ED? Or DocIso? (in case these things don't work)
And thanks for calling me stupid; you really know how to welcome a newbie...
Eager to learn if the criticism is constructive...

Nice that they're made of PVC, so they won't have the issues like those made of MDF from other companies.

If you take the extra time to coat them in fiberglass, or prime and paint them, they last alot longer. If you put bare wood, that is absorbent as MDF is, it will soak up water and be ruined.

^ Yes, of course that's true. So it doesn't make sense to buy raw mdf baffles if you then have to mod them as you described, when you can get PVC baffles for less $.

I just got these baffles yesterday, the construction is nice, they feel real solid, haven't had a chance to test fit them yet though
