HOLY CHIT we all agree on something !!! lets face it its not opinion its science and math we are all just trying to argue over the best way to sum up the same thing. I do enjoy debating with you guys though:D

Audio you made a couple points on speaker placement and mounting. How much, if any, effect on sound quality is there if the back side of the speaker is mounted in an open enviroment. For example. Is there much difference if a speaker is mounted to a sheet of plywood with no box around the back of the speaker. Or if the back of the speaker is completely enclosed in a box, or behind a trim piece.

Reason I mention this is, the mounting location I currently have my speakers in is open at the bottom. They are mounted in the trim along the gunwale. Its open at the bottom. I can reach up from underneith to get to the back of the speaker.

Subs are mounted in boxes specificaly designed for their particular specs. Can and do full range speakers benifit from reflex, or ported enclosures.

I ask this because its probably good mounting advice for everyone to hear.

If you have a opening that will allow the "Back wave" off the speaker then that is Bad. The Back wave will cancel out the sound off the front as it is out of phase with the front (unless you are seriously lucky) and the two cancel one another out. So if you can get a box back there that is good. You do not want it to be to small however as most smaller speakers like 6.5" and smaller are meant to opperate in a Infinate Baffle set up. If you put them in to small of a box that can alter the sound greatly in a bad way. Hope that helps.
