Yes, speaker baffles. Thanks, but not what I'm looking for. They're not acoustically transparent. so called 'baffles' just create a sealed box with very little internal volume and would ruin the bass response.

The water shield on the doors will be cut behind the speaker thereby using the internal volume of the door to create a better bass response. As I've said, the inside of the outer door skin will be lined with 4mm Silent coat.

What I'm looking for is some nice acoustically transparent (open cell?) foam which is also waterproof.
