Has anyone used a baffle on the 6.5's and like them?

Those things just rattle and fart in my experience, though they make a good template for fiberglassing. Alternatively you can deaden them with modeling clay or sound deadener to make them a little more solid.

I did exactly what stipud is describing with the clay.

You can read my gushing write up about it here:

I think page 2 is about where I start yammering about the suggestion dedlyjedly gave me. At first I had shitty 3.5" kicker speakers installed in them but then I put in the RSd6cs and they sound really great all deadened and enclosed.

I tried baffles years ago, I didn't notice one bit of change.
