My budget front speaker upgrade (pics)

[robkay]

I'm having a, "Why didn't I think of that?" moment. I can't recall why I didn't go with baffles. I think I read mixed reviews about them, plus the price was off-putting. I hadn't even thought of making them.

What I would be tempted to do (for the door mount speakers) would be to buy a can of that spray-on leak sealing product and coat the back side. That way if any any rain ever dripped down it wouldn't soak into the foam. You would want to test it on scrap, though, because some solvents will damage foam.

5 bucks vs 40. That's a win!

I might do that also. But even if the rain damage them after one or two years I can simply make another pair. The sheet I bought is enough for at least 6 more of those. I will only need to buy some glue again haha.

Yea that’s a win for sure. Now that you thought about it, you can also do it ;)
