IF the subs are flush mounted you can try some sort heavy fabric. not fleece or anything like that, but, try something like felt, suede, maybe even try to find some sort of rubber insulation...spray or mat. that should seal the sub to the box but not loose the flushness.

Bran I had that problem in just a little area, like a 1"-1 1/2" long. So I took a piece of an old bicycle innertube and cut it to fit and then slid it underneath and screwed my subs back down and voila, no more leaky.
