So would a container covering the top half of the speaker provide sufficient protection for the entire speaker?

I don't really know for sure that my door is letting water in, or if my speaker is actually getting wet. I just wanted to ensure that I don't damage my speakers by any means after there installed. I read several posts stating that almost all car doors allow water in, and the speakers should be protected from this by some means.

how about the XTC foam baffles?

Put them into the door through the speaker hole and trim the foam around the metal basket
