RE: Selaed/Open guitar cabinet?

All depends on the specs of the speaker. Unfortunately Eminence only says that a sealed enclosure is "acceptable" and doesn't list a recommended enclosure volume. Some speakers are designed to be used in cabinets with open backs, some require closed backs to function within their parameters. An email to Eminence might settle your question faster than anything. As a rule though, sealed cabinets protect the speaker better. You might consider building a cabinet with front ports or a "bass reflex" design (look it up). This would protect the rear of your speaker from punctures by errant cables, microphone stands, or groupies, while allowing you to extend the bass response of the speaker (as ports often do).
