Am trying to find out which application would yeild the best results. I recently perchased the JL C5 comp. and was debating whether they would be more effective (Best SQ) in a small fiberglass enclosure in the door or just put them directly into the door without an enclosure. Any help would be great, thanks.

i had this done in my car with 2 sets of the xr comps. if theyre sealed they seem over whelmed and flat. so behind both of the magnets i had cut holes about the size of the magnet and it waas a night and day difference. they sound 1000 times better not sealed

Why didnt you say that in your first post, thats all i needed to know.

I did. Read the last part of the sentence after the word but.

If you had bought diy drivers it would be much easier and then perhaps logical if you did everything right to use an enclosure, but considering your component choice I would highly recommend not doing it.

Don't read everything like people are attacking you, instead read with an open mind and you will see your answer.

Am not seeing it as an attack, your input on the topic open my eyes to areas that i do need to check into. Its just that when you ask an important question that your needing an immediate answer to and you have someone saying if you have to ask..... It just gets under my skin. If you have an opinion on the asked question just say yes it is or no its not a good idea because...... If this is done, then the thread would go a whole lot smoother.

I answered your question in the same statement. The "if you have to ask" was a warning that if you went down that path armed with what knowledge you have it will fail.

I also think that a tweeter should be mounted backwards...max reflectivness for the square wave X- E=MC3

BTW....

if you drive a Chevy a IB set up will not work because the steel GMC uses creates to may - IONS and it effects the angle

of the flange

I hope that was an attempt at humor. Not funny and as ridiculous as your previous statement.
