To port or not to port speakers


Hi Gentlemen,

i have some Boston 120 micro speakers sitting around  They are small but heavy and sound nice  I have some ceiling RBH 6 inch rear effects installed that are not enclosed  I’m going to take the 6 inch speakers out of the ceiling mounting plates and put the Boston’s in.  The small problem is that they have rear ports  Should I plug the ports?

These tiny speakers the ports are probably the only reason you can listen to them without subs. 

But before you go through all of this, why not replace with nice ceiling mount speakers??

  • Do you have a way to play one of them without putting it into the ceiling?
  • Is the port out the front?
  • What frequency does the AVR set these to?
    • Small, medium, large? (80, 100, 120, 150 Hz?)
