Thinking about building small enclosures for my midbass and midrange speakers in the front doors. Anyone done this before and if so does sealed vs. ported matter much? I would like to keep'em sealed if that works fine with non-subwoofer speakers.

Thanks

u will have the most sucsess as a first timmer bulding just a sealed inclosure and it will sound real good if built with some integrity! ported can be awsome or realy bad and not a bigginer thing to tackle. u have oppened up a real touchy subject with a lot of people on here. i am shure that u will get quite a range of advise on this topic have fun!

with a small sealed enclosure you will want to choose your drivers accordingly...

Id run winisd with the speakers you already have to get an idea of how they will respond...
