buy something bigger than 3mm that's the size I used and they are just adequate for a light grill, give it a light bump and it falls off. that size only works if it is magnet to magnet. any cloth in between and they won't hold at all. I think 10mm would probably be advisable.
If you want them exposed you can get some nice gold plated ones.

K & J Magnetics
K&J Magnetics - Strong Neodymium Magnets, Rare Earth Magnets
"D72" disc, 7/16" X 1/8" is what I use.
Chosen to fit a 1/2" forstner bit hole.
My mount is a combination of mechanical and magnetic. The grill frame has a "ledge" to rest upon at the bottom. Be careful to get the polarities aligned...

Do you mean grills? Magnets are not suitable for attaching a baffle.
We get the magnets for our grills from Lee Valley.
And what Tony says... some of our heavier grills need more than 4 magnets, early attempts have grills that will fall off if you look at them wrong. I fear someday the grills themselves will damage the speaker.

I mean baffles. Im pretty sure I've seen them used but cant remember where. You have to use strong magnets for sure.
Your baffles have to come out often enough to use a system like that???
HArdware stores and home centers like Home Depot ought to have magnetic cabinet latches, like they use on cabinet doors in your kitchen.
Nah, dont have to... just wanna make a pair that has removable baffles. I don't have to use magnets, I'll probably just end up doing it a proven way.
Neo magnets the size of a nickle hold with exceptional force, and just getting them close to each other can get them to "bite" you as they attach to each other. I had to find replacments for a project at work as persons who used the machine with 1 neo magnet complained it was TOO STRONG.
