As much power as I am running, I didn't want vibration, or door buzz so mounting them onto a firm surface only seemed the logical choice, 3/4" MDF provides nice backing for those 6.5's.

Water will only enter from the outside (rubber molding/window), and I drove around 4 weeks this winter (window motor/regulator replacement) and only noticed a small amt of water that trickled down inside the door. Absolutely no problems, and I even checked out my 6.5's after being in the car for 1 year.

Again, they look brand new, no moisture buildup or deterioration that I could see anywhere. Actually, I was astonished. So, I can understand you concerns. You should not have any problems.
