View Full Version : Anyone Interested in MDF Speaker Baffles for there tC????
ChefRaekwon 02-14-2005, 02:22 AM Just testing the waters to see if anyone is interested in purchasing something like this. I know alot of people will upgrade there speakers so you will need some sort of Baffle no matter what. MDF is alot stronger and less resistant to vibration than the plastic baffles they sell in audio shops and places like Crutchfield. If you let me know some specs of the speakers I can make them to fit and sell them with nuts and bolts for probably $10-15 maybe including shipping. Also will be water -resistant. Let me know. Thanks everyone.

curriertech 02-14-2005, 04:37 AM I'd do it. I've used a makeshift MDF bracket before...and it worked very well. Nicely made ones at a good price would probably be a popular item. :)
Joe_Dezod 02-14-2005, 04:52 AM I agree.
tekniq 02-14-2005, 07:08 AM Definately a great idea, I'm sure they would sell easily at a price like that..
Gambit7 02-15-2005, 01:03 AM Are the rear ones the same as the front? I want to try some 6 1/2 subs in the rear locations. I would really be interested!!!!
Forevermore 02-15-2005, 05:27 AM im not interested
JustinWs6 02-15-2005, 05:43 AM I'd be interested.... I was going to do something similar myself soon
anthonie 02-15-2005, 07:45 AM im interested, looking to install 6.5 in the front and 5.25 inchers in the back, let me know if you have any this would help
erazboy 02-15-2005, 08:18 PM I'd be in too. I'm looking to install some new components for the front in the next few weeks.
Joe_Dezod 02-16-2005, 05:40 AM Any followup on this man? Looks like you'll have some customers.
smurf3642 02-16-2005, 06:03 AM Make that 1 more...
mksm2000 02-16-2005, 04:54 PM yeah man hooks us up :D
ChefRaekwon 02-16-2005, 10:34 PM OK guys I can make them for sure. One thing I am sort of worried about is the fitment to each brand of speakers. I don't want to sell you guys these Baffles and the fitment to the speaker is crap. But I think most 6.5s are generically the same size(Frame Wise). I think this weekend i'll make an extra set and let one of you guys test it out and let me know how it fits. Looking at about $10-15 for the front set Baffles and $10-15 for the rear set as well. Not sure if that will include shipping but if not add like 3 bucks each set to ship.
mredz 02-27-2005, 06:44 AM You still thinking about making these? I sent you a PM awhile ago about them but you never responded. I'd glady pay $20 for a set shipped.. I dont have the tools to make them myself.
erazboy 02-27-2005, 08:45 AM i dont think this will ever happen, so i ordered the plastic ones from cardomain already.
KnightTC 02-27-2005, 04:07 PM i dont think this will ever happen, so i ordered the plastic ones from cardomain already.
Give the guy sometime. I'm in. How does the plastic ones fit anyways?
erazboy 03-04-2005, 12:53 AM Give the guy sometime. I'm in. How does the plastic ones fit anyways?
the plastic ones fit just fine. just break off the 2 tabs that you don't need (actually only one of them gets in the way). i got 2 pairs for about $20 including shipping from cardomain. i only did the fronts and from what i've read, the back is just the same so it should be no problem at all.
brownbanana 12-10-2005, 10:38 AM huge thread revival, any update on these? I'd be interested for a set for 6.5" up front and in the back.
TTURedRaider311 01-22-2006, 08:33 PM I'm very interested in something like this. Update?

ChefRaekwon 01-30-2006, 12:30 AM Wow. I haven't been on the site for a while. Been redoing some things on my own stereo. I didn't get any PMs from anybody for the MDF Baffles. Sorry everyone but i just suspected no one wanted them cause of the lack of PMs.

Yanki01 02-17-2006, 12:07 AM ^^ yea but i think they make them for the front only?
Hmm I didn't know they were different.
Yanki01 02-17-2006, 03:00 AM yea, the front is 6.5" the rear is 5.5" i believe! But i put alpine 6.5" in the back with my custom baffels? So they fit in the back!
