Door speaker water shield

[avidedtr]

Can anyone tell me where I can source something like these that aren't as ridgid around the baffle.

Like, a thinner foam?

I recently used the silicone versions from NVX and REALLY like them. But they are kind of a stretch to fit around the speaker basket.

Yes sir, thinner around the baffle. I tried XTC types and there was so much resistance between the baffle and metal. Either I'm doing something wrong and need to review my approach or the product is what it is.

do you have a link to the NVX product used for a 6-1/2" ?

Thanks

Ohhh, I know what you're talking about. Sometimes the factory opening makes it difficult to push the foam baffles through, and then when you try to push the midbass in... no go.

Here are the NVX baffles - NVX XBAF65 Silicone Rubber Speaker Baffle

I used the 6x9" versions, and they were a tight fit into the Ram carrier plates, but I believe they are notorious for having a small size speaker cutout. With a few minutes of patience though, got the Frog GS690 midbass and those NVX baffles in there.

Ordered, hopefully these go easier. Trying to FIT and ARC RS60 isn't fun in a Honda CHEERS AND THANKS

Keep us updated. Was my first time trying those, and definitely think they are my go to water shield from now on.

Will do.

I just used a set of the silicone rings last weekend installing some 6x9's in the doors of my dad's Tundra. I won't use the foam ones anymore without a specific reason.

Thanks man, they arrive Thursday. I'll post updates for others

these won’t do the sound of a driver in a door any good, restrictive for the flow of pressure off the rear of the cone, even if the lower section is cut out (it should be at least opened up) these make a negative difference to sound from experience of removing several sets (both cut (shocking) and uncut!)
