The Answer To A Problem: Boom Mat Speaker Baffles
By Kevin Whipps
Sometimes just cruising the Net will yield the solution to your problems. Like in my case: I recently put a midbass in my door just to discover that it didn’t provide the low-end kick I needed. After discussing things with an audiophile buddy of mine, he suggested I put an enclosure around the midbass to maximize the bass potential.
“Smashing idea!” I thought, but Lord knows I’m not good with MDF. Fortunately, I found these — they’re pre-built enclosures for a variety of midbass applications, and they’re made out of sound-deadening material. They’re super easy to install, and they’ll give you a more bassiful sound in no time. What’s that? Bassiful isn’t a word? Sod off.

I had a pair of these in my car once. They worked pretty well. Although, I got a free sample of these to try out;

They sound a little better than the foam buckets, but they don’t absorb sound waves. Instead they eliminate standing waves from your speaker.
