Are sound baffles good for speakers and sound quality, or are they a waste of money? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Eu1O7zsD5LE/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=52200&id=other_items&i=1086827CF#Tab
They can actually make the sound worse by essentially creating a leaky, unwanted enclosure. They're decent at keeping speakers dry in an environment in which it is needed, but I still cut the bottom (as mounted) out of them.
