Is that really my only option?!
I dont mind using the MDF, and i can build my own, but to save time, i'd rather just buy some. Anyone know of anything better? Cheaper? Anything!?

Excellent idea! I never considered using the cutting board. Another option is to use a piece of lexan (not plexiglass). It cuts very easily with a fine-tooth jig saw blade and is also easy to drill into. Plus, it's clear so you can easily mark your drill holes.
I used 1/4 inch lexan for my baffles on my C6. If your into "looks", you can paint the backside of the lexan to match your car. I opted to use a sheet of dynamat on the back to help cancel out vibrations. You can find the sheets of lexan on flea-bay for about $10 a sheet.

i know what a speaker baffle is
the poster and everyone else in this thread is talking about a piece to adapt a standard size speaker to a non standard hole (ie the stock location) sometimes referred to as a mounting baffle

The plates are baffles.
A speaker baffle is the surface to which the driver is mounted. It can be the face of an enclosure or an infinitely-extending surface. Anything that separates the front pressure wave of a driver from the rear pressure wave qualifies as a baffle. That stuff Crutchfield peddles is more accurately described as foam enclosures.
... and trust me, I DO know what I'm talking about.

Spkrboy I know you know what you are talking about thanks for backing me on this.
In regards to my response, since apparently I dont know what a baffle is, I received a PM with a link to some crutchfield foam enclosures

I hate the question "Should I put my speakers on baffles?" and they mean these.
