I was just looking through a crutchfield catalog and they have these waterproof foam baffles. Other than supposedly keeping the speakers moisture free, do they really help imrove overall sound by acting as a sort of box maybe ?

My understanding of baffles is that they act as a sort of enclosure for areas with poor enclosure characteristics (an example might be a door with loose panels that is not at all air tight and has poor sound quality for door speakers). The baffle, it appears, would improve this situation, however, I doubt it offers the sound quality of a "standard" enclosure.

If you had leaky windows, this product would help solve cone damage due to water leaks. This product would also act a little like poly foam in a sub box, dampens rear waves of sound off the back of the cone.
Might well improve the sound characteristics of a MB driver.

they are mainly meant to keep water out. They are flimsy plastic, not strong enough. You could fiberglass them and make a true enclosure out of them, and that would help the sound quality. I would deaden the doors first though, probably easier.

They do improve the midbass some, but as ttocs said, they are mainly for waterproofing. They flex too much to be considered enclosures.
