Thanks for the tip Tony.

Fortunatly the Subaru does have a plastic liner stuck in place on the inside of the door mechanicals. The baffle I put on the speaker is some sort of foam rubber and forms a tight seal to the door. That was the key though. Without that there would be an open airway on the speaker surround to the outer part of the door and the electronics.

I'll definitly have to say that the front door speakers were certainly the worst part of this install. It was more than a trial to get these in the front doors. But that's definitly my fault because I got speakers that were just a little to large. Fortunatly I had the right parts to get it to fit in the end.
