[QUOTE="JimJ, post: 934539, member: 555251"] Nonsense - sealed setups work just as well, if you have the amplifier power to run them. I went bass reflex for mine, simply because I couldn't spare the power. The biggest problem with car audio drivers at home is they might not be designed for sealed enclosures like the kind you'll be using at home, they might be optimized for IB such as in a door. Best to contact the manufacturer with the enclosure alignment you're thinking of, and seeing what they have to say. Bottom line? I wouldn't do it without talking to the manufacturer first. Home audio mids and tweets are so cheap for quality ones anyway, it would probably be cheaper to go that route and build a simple, pre-designed Xover. Or...go full range and skip the crossover!
