Check this thread out on the baffels! Mine are pretty much identical and now alot more rounder!

It's a foam surround that goes around the voicecoil/magnet of a speaker, to protect it from the elements. While it's true that those *are* a type of baffle, what most people in car audio profession refer to as a baffle, is the mounting plate of a speaker. For subs, the baffle is the top of the box. For older cars that had 6x9's on the rear desk, it was the rear deck that seperated the 6x9 cone from the trunk.
If you go into any car audio shop of worth, and say that you have a set of 6.5" speakers, and you need a baffle to install them in the factory 5.25" locations, what you'll get is either an adapter plate that looks like http://www.crutchfield.com/S-KGX1y7c...3200&I=142SAT6
or you'll get a piece of mdf board cut into the correct shape to fit the larger speakers, but also allow you to bolt the mdf into the stock speaker mounting tabs/screw holes, etc etc.
It's the thickness of the mdf that allows for the extra mounting depth, as well as the extra circumference of the larger speaker.
Hope that helps.

Honestly, can't say for certain how they compare as I've never had the pleasure of sitting down w/ CDT comps outside of a sound wall at CES...and that's about the most unfair comparison you can make w/ drivers.
6500s get loud enough that I don't care to listen though
