[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8658723, member: 576029"] Agreed. Closed cell weatherstripping foam is desired to gasket the new speaker to the door/adapter/panel. It's only $3 for a 10' roll of weatherstripping foam at any hardware store and you can choose the thickness and width. You want a thin gasket between the speaker and the plastic mounting adapter (can be foam or putty). Then you want a soft, thick gasket between the speaker and the door panel. Be careful to not get any weatherstripping on the surround itself and do not use open cell foams. A 2017 Malibu is pictured below. I also added some foam at the door clips to minimize them from being audible.
