IIRC those things have gasoline or fuel oil fired heaters. Is that correct?

reminds me of indiana jones that is a pretty cool vehicle goodluck

 

[surferdudedav]

yea, they got gas heaters which if not properly maintained they will catch on fire.. thats why i dont even use mine but anyway any ideas on these enclosures?!

if the question is infinite baffle (door as enclosure) vs sealed back (stuff it with polyfill) the answer is either. as long as you completely seal off the front wave from the backwave, you should be fine. word of advice: if there not in the doors or rear shelf, you'll be better off making small enclosures (around .35 cu ft) and fill it with poly fill, and gasket the speakers (makes a huge difference)

hope i got a little further than the other guys
