I'd meter it both ways to see if you might be hurting yourself. I dont know what they have clamp wise, but you could use metal brackets bolted in if it isn't something you have to open all the time- and dont care about asthetics.
June 19, 200718 yr Author not worried about looks at all. i know there are clamps because i have seen them before just never got the name. and im sure in my vehicle sealed up is gonna be higher in numbers! im metering next tuesday so we will see. but if anyone knows about the clamps please let me know.

I gain around 1db by opening my windows, and it makes my cd player skip much sooner to have my windows cracked open, and I've heard similar things from almost everyone I've talked to (that would be in the class you're talking about or lesser). Just trying to help, good luck with the clamps. Why not try home depot or lowes.
June 20, 200718 yr Author ill give it a try when i meter it tuesday. then ill look into the clamps thanks!
