baffle in a 6n2

hey people, i want to install my JL components, got sound deadening to apply but before i do, i need to make a baffle for the speakers.

now im sure the point of using a baffle is so thats its solid, which would mean i have to remove the not-as-strong plastic speaker adapter right? but the thing is, the metal surface that the adapter mounts to is uneven, so a flat mdf baffle wont rest easy.

has anyone got any suggestions or any pictures of how they have mounted their speakers?

cheers

Where you planning on fitting the speakers? Im intrigued as to why you cant use to original locations

i want to put them in the stock locations, but usually in other cars, the speaker is attached to the metal. when people replaces them, they add a mdf baffle to give it a strong solid mount (and extra space to accomodate the speaker)

with the polo, the speaker is attached to a plastic adapter sorta thing, which is connected to the metal. the plastic isnt as strong as having a mdf baffle, and it wud be silly to put the mdf baffle on the adapter, wouldnt it?

i don't even know if im making sense anymore!

Ahh I get ya. I found the plastic to be pretty solid - as long as its mounted right with padding around the back its pretty good

But yes im sure your idea will work

hmm ur rite, ma mate thought it was metal when he tapped on it! i think im just gonna use the plastic thing, i dont have the time, skills or facilities to fiddle with mdf, and im gonna sound deaden the doors anyways so im sure it will be fine

if it sounds rubbish then ill sort something out!!
