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?

do not block the ports.  they will be fine.

For a  Surround channel / limited signal - the impact of sealing the port is minimal.

Plugged Port results in a higher bass extension ... finding a good material for the plug is of some import ... ' rigid foam ' ... for example.
