That is the worst possible thing you could do to a speaker... aside from not having it hooked up at all. Actually I would rather not have it hooked up at all than have it in one of those foam baffles. Automotive speakers are designed to use the entire door as it's enclosure. So using those baffles will only choke it off, thus preventing any mid-bass output. Some of your really good speakers, and I don't mean JL Audio/Alpine/Rockford/Infinity crap, I'm talking about something like Hybrid Audio... are IB(infinite baffle). So the bigger the enclosure the better. It would actually operate best if it used the entire outdoors as it's enclosure. The main thing you have to consider though is that you need to isolate the front waves from the back waves... so just sitting the speaker out on your driveway is going to do nothing. But if you had your house all shut up and cut a hole in the wall to the outside and mounted the speaker facing in... it would sound amazing. So this is why it's important to use sound deadening to seal up all of the access holes in your door when installing speakers. If I'm doing a competition level system with Hybrid speakers, and they are being mounted down in the kicks, l will actually vent that area out into the fender ares to take advantage of the airspace of the great outdoors.
This would be an example of sealing up all of the access holes in door. The square holes remaining are the holes where the door clips slide into to hold the door card onto the door:

It is fairly cheap and compact, but it's not going to output much sub-bass. If you are looking for just a little fill, then it will suit you just fine. There is no replacement for a conventional subwoofer in some form of a conventional enclosure though.
