Enclosed speaker applications

Art,

Between the two you’re looking at the JA is a far superior product. The enclosed speakers we mainly sell for folks who need an enclosed speaker for building codes and such.

Don’t worry about building any kind of enclosure, that only makes a smaller box and the bass suffers.
