[QUOTE="chartman18, post: 2283730, member: 570778"] I was browsing the Crutchfield car audio site for reference uses (they are overpriced obviously) and I came across some XTC Speaker Baffles. Here is a link to them: [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bmry80XVvzn/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?g=762&avf=N"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bmry80XVvzn/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?g=762&avf=N[/URL] Now, after reading the reviews from the customers, it seems they say or describe it as if the 'foam' enclosure is '*******' the sound/vocals, thus making them sound muffled and such. Well, I was thinking, what if I fiberglassed the inside or outside of it, creating a more dense, but sturdy enclosure around the speaker. I guess my question is, will it be ok, with the cubic feet (less than a foot) and no port. I know the lows will sound better, but I just need to know if it will give the speakers an all-around better sound and performance, not to mention protection (such as dirt, water, etc). What do you guys think, and if its a go, Im going to try a part of this sometime next week or 2 weeks after I buy some 'template' speaker baffles from them. Opinions/thoughts? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
