Just curious if anybody on here has tried these before and how the fitment was? Any feedback?

yes i have them in my gs.
they fit perfectly. =D

they are my first adapters for speakers in my gs, so they've worked awesome for me. but ive read on car audio forums that mdf ones would be better because they'd be more more sturdy. but i have some diamonds baffled onto those exact same baffles and they fit and work great. i have the adapters for both front and rear doors and they both fit perfect. no complaints on my part

here is a link to the build thread i have in my gs, if you scroll down you can see a couple of pics of the baffles themsevles and then a couple of them installed in my doors with and with out the speakers.

Cool, that's good to hear, I appreciate the feedback. Is that the same vendor too?

I had fronts and rear in my gs, and they were perfect fit.

I dont have those but I've made my own The only problem I had was clearance of the woofer to the window rolling down. Just make sure the speakers you chose to use in there arent too deep.

Nope, they're 2 different ones:

Thanks for all the responses guys, I appreciate it.

Hey Pete are you looking for a set too? I already emailed the company about if they offer any discounts if you purchase both front and rears together, as well as shipping discounts if they're packaged and shipped together. If they offer anything like that, you want me to order you a set?

I used those for templates and made my own I did not like them everything i read was mdf is better

mdf is prob better at being a more "dead" material than pvc soundwise but then again with the materials exposed to the elements within the door area I would feel safer that the plastic would be more resistant to deteriation (sp). prob the reason that the stock adapters are plastic.

Yeah MDF would be better, but would I notice a difference.....probably not. I'm more so looking for ease of installation and the amount of time I would need to put into the project

Quick question, when you use those adapters, the back of the speaker is totally exposed.
Should there be dynamat behind there to hold in sound AND also keep out sound also?
Or should that be just fine?

because that is how my JL audio's are set up right now.

True.

No. If you want to put dynamat on the panel, that's fine, but you don't want to wrap the speaker itself with dynamat. You can also use deflex pads on the outer skin to divert the sound and improve the response by lowering the backwave pressure - also why you don't want to cover the rear of the speaker with dynamat.

That's how most cars have the speakers.

Clarify - you have dynamat on them, or they're free air?

no, no dynamat or any deadening on the doors. OR the speakers for that fact. I have none period.

And when I was referring to the dynamat being behind the speaker, I was more or less referring to placing it on the INSIDE of the door. In one of the pictures up there where the speaker isnt installed yet, you can see clear to the outer door skin.

Is that even okay? will it lower sound quality?

The reason I ask is because the stock speakers were in a case basically and the back wasn't exposed. Im not sure of how other cars have their stock setup though.

BEST way to do this is completely fill the doors with dynamat and sealing off any and all holes from the door cavity to the cabin. This will create a leak proof enclosure in the door which will in turn give you GREAT sound
