well i have a pair of 3 way sony 280W 6"by9" speakers which dont fit in my car, so i'll get a speaker box from a friend, and i wonder which box would work better for them since i have option.

sealed if you use any enclosure.
generally they're made for an IB application though.. no enclosure.
sealed mimmicks that the most closely.

thanx for you're posts
Speakers sound a lot better when they're enclosed in a sealed box, not only the sound is crispier, but also the bass sounds a lot better, i would say %100 better, whats so werid is that when i set volume in my alipne on 20 or higher, then all my stuff in car hits the floor and the whole car just shakes, this is outstanding i never heard any car audio performing this good. i'm realy satisfied with the performance i'm getting, i never knew it would work as good as it's now.
thanx to u all for advice.

Like KiKi said earlier, most coaxials are made for infinite baffle and NOT made for sealed enclosures. Fact is, if you know what you are doing, an IB setup will sound A LOT better then a sealed enclosure for 6x9"s. Plus, I'm sure throwing them in an enclosure really screws up the imaging.
