There was a thread a few weeks back about it. If your mids are more suited for IB those baffles will prevent that and the space the mid would be enclosed in wouldnt be enough and it could hurt performance. Only thing I can see them being used for is to keep moisture away from the mids to prevent rust.

You can also pick up some wax based non hardening clay to add mass in trouble spots, fill holes, and use it as a cushion on the speaker baffle to seal it to the door properly.

hmmm, i still feel like i need more convincing

it basically works as well as putting some foam behind your speakers in the door panels. And some foam around the lip of the speaker for better sealing.

I've seen them used in a IB trunk to isolate the deck speakers

For doors I think it will hurt you

It will however protect the speakers from water. Which I'm looking into currently and think you can find something else that will work as good for cheaper
