    correct , but we normally  build   a sealed enclosure , then   , we  cut a hole for the port    ,  I'm pretty sure that @Barrie got my drift  

    then it would be a ported enclosure at that point.....

    infinite baffle works , but  a sealed enclosure  avoids the  extension loss in the LF   for a gain in quality sound ...  it costs a bit more . MDF ,  glue , a few fasteners    

    im not sure you understand how infinite baffle works. if it designed to be that way and not be in a box, and you stick it in a box, it is not going to sound right and could damage something.

    I  prefer a sealed enclosure with a port at the rear for optimal sound  because I want the woofers to dig as low as they can ,

    sealed enclosure.......with a port, is not a sealed enclosure anymore. 

     

    And these are in-walls. you wont find an in-wall with an enclosure on the back that is ported. Not that I have ever seen anyways. Theoretically, it would not make sense. 

  3. even the spec sheet says infinite baffle. I mean that is straight from Klipsch. I may not be a "professional installer" but I do sell Klipsch speakers, including a lot of architectural stuff and I have a ton of them in my house. they are all installed as open baffle and I have zero issues with them being that way.

  4. I would just install them as intended. They should be like all other in walls from klipsch. I am guessing they either have some sort of ring that installs in the wall first? if not then the speaker should have it's own tabs. You would need to cut holes in the drywall, then those tabs hold them to the drywall. the placement and the center is the hard part. the holes and install is the easy part. I could explain easier over the phone and even send a few pics of my in wall installs if you'd like. Feel free to send me a message and i could give you my phone number. 

  5. Well if they are anything like the rest of the klipsch in-walls from klipsch, they were designed for an open baffle. Trey who no longer works there has told me numerous times that some of the RP series in walls and in ceilings were designed for open baffle and would require something like a 3.0 cuft internal enclosure to remain the same sounding. anything smaller would severely harm the extension of them. Like i said, that was for the non thx speakers, but i can't imagine that being any different. 

     

    Are you just wanting to enclose them to try and contain some sound?

    I meant I changed my post about my advise to post in the garage section to the op. 👍

    I don’t get on here much anymore, but it’s good to see you posting so much buddy. Been a while since i had heard from you.

    Even after I added an amp I still ran things at around same volume levels (how much I turned volume to). That just isn't going to be anything to compare anything to. Your denon has enough power. Amps add dynamics and some argue better sound in some cases. Unless your dealing with speakers that need more power to perform than the avr has. In loud passages as Bill noted you should notice better control and separation. But being louder at same volume level is meaningless to compare anything in your case with what you have imo. 

    Amen brother.

  8. Man i heard this thing down in hope at Klipsch factory. Along with a pair of the ultra surrounds a Klipsch 12” sub i thought it sounded rather good for its size. However expectations play a lot of ones brain. I walked in to listen to something tiny and expensive and had low expectations. Was rather blown away by it. Had i paid 2200 for it and hooked it up at home i might have sent it back as well.
