You would need to make a proper enclosure for them. Since this is for
use outside an fully enclosed "infinite baffle" box would be best
(i.e. no reflex ports etc). Perhaps a WBP ply box that you could clad
with deck boards to make it blend in better. Seal all the joins with
silicone, and stuff it with some wadding.


I was going to say that, but then realised that as they are fully
sealed, any enclosure you put them in isn't going to affect the air
pressure on the rear of the cones, so sealing the enclosure and adding
wadding ain't gonna make a blind bit of difference ;-(

I did not think they were fully sealed. Shame if they are - it would
suggest they are going to sound pretty poor.

Have a look at the data sheet:

The side view suggests the rear of the main driver is open, which would
require a proper box construction (and also mean that getting a decent
bass response from them ought to be possible)
