How do open baffle speakers work?
If you extend both your arms simultaneously, then both sheets bow out away from you. That’s a bipolar speaker. With any of these designs, open-baffle, bipolar, or dipolar, there is always a front wave and a back wave, usually of equal amplitude. These back waves add perceived volume to the sound stage.
Why do speakers need baffles?
First, they help keep dirt and grime away from your delicate driver components to help maximize speaker life. Second, by forming a tight mounting seal around the speaker, the baffle can actually help reduce panel-to-frame resonance for better sound.
Why does a speaker need an enclosure?
The primary role of the enclosure is to prevent sound waves generated by the rearward-facing surface of the diaphragm of an open speaker driver interacting with sound waves generated at the front of the speaker driver.

Do speakers sound better enclosed?
A speaker will generally sound better in a box than in free air or an infinite baffle. actually most car speakers are designed for use in larger air space, such as the door cavity.
What are speaker baffles made of?
Materials. Speaker manufacturers can fabricate baffles from any material, but they typically use the same material as the speaker enclosure. Metal, plastic, wood or any solid material that will not vibrate when exposed to sound will work just as well. Baffles can be made thinner than the other walls of the enclosure.
