RECOIL SPB65 Foldable Silicone 6.5” Car Speaker Baffle Kits with Egg Crate Foam for Sound Quality Improvement and Speaker Protection One Pair

I bought 4 new JBL 621F speakers for my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV to use with my iDoing head unit. The speakers worked on their own but sounded very "distant", and this was my first ever car audio/speaker upgrade that I did on my own. Upon researching options, I came across these on Amazon and saw all the really good reviews, so I decided to buy them.After pulling all the speakers back apart, re-assembling them with these new speaker baffles and re-installing them in the doors, I have to say, my JBL speakers have woken up for the first time. It sounds like the speakers are actually purposefully delivering the sound into the car now, rather than emitting it aimlessly inside the door. I can actually now hear the bass these speakers are meant to produce, and DAMN do they pack a punch!My rear speaker brackets wouldn't quite fit with these baffles out of the box, which required me to trim an inch off of them. It's really handy that these are rubbery silicone, because I was able to trim them down using normal scissors. Once I did that, they worked perfectly in the back seats.Some friendly advice about the foam sound deadeners:The supplied sound-cancelling foam is a nice touch but can be tricky to install. I found that the easiest approach is to have a light shining into the hole, wipe the back metal framing of the inner door with some rubbing alcohol and paper towel, then insert the circular foam cutout by bending it in half with the adhesive on the outside (that way you don't inadvertently stick/glue the foam onto itself, lol).It also really helps to have light shining inside the speaker hole in the door, so you can see where you're going to place it and carefully/deliberately stick the foam exactly where you want it. I messed this up on the 2nd door and it caused me to have to pull it apart and re-insert some extra foam padding that I had lying around. I managed to patch it up and make it work, but it's imperative that you don't screw up the placement of this foam, because once you stick it somewhere-- that's where it stays, and it's a hassle to get off.

I was eager to improve the sound quality in my 4Runner with the Recoil SPB65 Foldable Silicone Speaker Baffle Kits. The idea of having a tight seal around my speakers to reduce road noise and enhance sound quality was appealing. The patented silicone design and egg crate foam seemed like a solid solution, and I was looking forward to a noticeable upgrade in my audio experience.However, once I received the baffles and attempted to install them, I quickly ran into issues. While the silicone material felt durable and of high quality, the fit wasn't as universal as advertised. I struggled to get them to align properly with my speaker setup, and even when I managed to secure them, I didn't notice a significant improvement in sound quality. The claim of reducing reverberation and enhancing audio just didn't materialize in my case.To make matters worse, I found that the bottom half of the baffle, which is supposed to be customizable, didn’t really accommodate my speaker’s mounting depth well. I ended up trimming it, but it still didn’t provide the snug fit I expected. I was disappointed because I had high hopes for these baffles, especially with the positive feedback I had seen online.Unfortunately, the timing was not on my side. I couldn’t return them in time, leaving me stuck with a product that didn’t work for my specific setup. It’s frustrating when a product that seems promising doesn’t deliver, especially when it's marketed as being versatile and easy to install.If you're considering the Recoil speaker baffles, I would recommend thoroughly checking their compatibility with your vehicle’s speaker configuration first. While they might work well for some setups, they just didn’t fit mine, and I can't say they lived up to my expectations. Overall, I was left feeling disappointed with my purchase.

Front door speakers I had to trim to first hold so window wouldn't hit when rolled down. Still made my speakers louder ever without the foam on back. I could tape the foam in place and prob make even louder but I haven't decided yet. Will be buying another paid for back door speakers. Most people could just by all 4 without the foam and be fine. I think it helped lessen vibration also. It would've been easier to mount if I used the other 4 holes in baffle to just mount baffle and mount speaker in the other existing 4 holes. But you would need flathead machine screws w nuts. Mine were roundhead and I was afraid it would prevent the speaker from laying down flat and sealing tight so I just used existing 4 screws and holes to mount both at the same time.To the guy that put them on overhead speakers on his boat: these won't help in that situation theres no door cavity to lose sound in silly lol. They might help w vibration but how would these make a little sound pod mounted on bar above you louder? These are to direct sound waves straight out of door so they don't get lost inside the door. If you don't have a door they won't do anything 🤷.

This is a review for my 23 Tundra TRD.So, these do not install as advertised. They don't surround the speaker and encapsulate them like it advertises. They do not "cup" the speaker and reach to the door.I was very close to returning these. I looked at how they sat on the speaker and was pretty upset at first that they didnt do what they said. BUT, I was able to surround the speaker with the product and sit them in the speaker cut out in my door. So.... although they dont surround the speaker they will fit and I DID notice a pretty substantial difference in sound quality. And most of all the BUZZING and RATTLING in my door stopped. Which was ultimately my main worry and reasoning for purchasing this product. Overall im happy with them. Just didnt work like I planned for them to.
