Looked around the thread under car audio but only came up with this thread tackling midrange baffles:
Using baffles with MM465s in door panel.

I'm planning on putting the mids in my doors. If I were to build a sealed enclosure for these speakers, what'd be the recommended volume?

I'm building this for SQ, and yes I'll have subs (MM2084). TIA.

    Doubt youd be able to pull off an enclosure. Those mids are designed to work in free air applications and so youd have to build a pretty big enclosure to be right (Id guess somewhere in the .5 ft3 range) so you wouldnt be able to fit it inside your door.

    Im no engineer but that just does not seem right. I can almost guarantee that if you stuck them in a .15 sealed enclosure it would kill your midbass.
