No, not a sarcastic reply. Comment wasn't directed at you.      :)

I thought the enclosure might be bigger and aside from higher quality
and power increase, thought maybe bass could be increased a little.

I hate like heck cutting big holes in the factory parts. i.e. my lower
storage bin has 2 giant holes cut by the PO. Very personal preference,
and I'm not judging.

Might be worth looking into. I'll have to double check my Westy
interior and see where these could be mounted (out of the way)
