Da fuq did I just read?
Here's what I do
That's roofing tin IIRC that I used. I used cardboard to trace out hole that I was going to cover and then traced it onto the tin and cut it out. Be sure to cut the tin slightly larger than the hole so you have a way to attach it. Then put a bead of silicone around the outer edges of the hole, press into place and drill a few holes around the outer border and install a few pop rivets to hold it into place. Works like a charm and is stiff and non-resonant after a layer of deadener.

mdf works good for new baffles, once their on can use somesort of deadener around it to seal it off, cover up the gaps if it's not perfectly flush on the door

Mdf will rot unless it's completely sealed. My rings were soaked in fiberglass resin to prevent that. Just fyi

How do I go about attaching the mdf baffle to the door? Do I use adhesive or screws... Or whatever else, idk? Is there any type of product in a spray can that I can spray on it to keep it from getting wet? Truck bed liner? And do you think this will really help the mid bass response by using an mdf cutout rather than the plastic bracket?
if you use mdf make sure you soak them in stain after cutting and drilling holes otherwise they will swell up and rot

I attached the mdf to the door with sheet metal screws, bed liner would work.
honestly idk if the response would gain or not. Sealing up around the plastic one would
Deadener is good for sealing the doors not just getting rid of the rattles.
here is what I started with, very unsealed.
Much better response than being all open.
This was in the rear of my car but it is just the same for the doors.

Yeah, put the probes on the power wire and ground wire of the amplifier. Multimeter on DC.
Do not put it on the wires that go to your speakers. M
