what do you mean "seal them up"? theyll be in the doors, in the stock locations.
ill be sound deadening the doors.
i'm not necesarily going to be giving them 200watts, but the amp is capable. probably 150wrms, which should be well within their ability.
and what is a 'resonance peak'? excuse my ignorance.

deadening is a great idea. by seal them up, i mean actually build some form of an enclosure for the speakers, whether it be with kick pods or doing an enclosure in the door.
since you're doing it in the doors, you should have fairly smooth response from your set. make sure that you seal the doors themselves (can't remember how the TA doors are mounted but i think it uses c-clips to hold the panel on which can leave leaks causing for odd peaks in response). you can seal them up simply by deadening the door so that the deadening seals the door for you.

i'm hoping i can get the damn door panels off with out much trouble and get them deadened pretty well. i have no idea how many sq ft of deadener i would need for both doors though.
thanks for the advice
You're going to love those speaks, guaranteed. And you'll be glad to have the power - headroom is good. Just have your gains lower than you otherwise might and be careful tuning and with the volume. Excellent set though, seriously. Deadening will help ton, especially the midbass. And those speakers are designed for IB so don't bother trying to build an enclosure. What do you have for your substage?

w00t. thats what i like to hear 
i finally got them in the mail last night, only thing is they sent the 480 xovers instead of the 560, so hopefully they'll get the right ones shipped on monday.
i've got a phoenix gold tantrum 500.2 pushing a jl 10W6. lots of extra power there also. the sub sound good but it like, bottoms out or whatever if i turn it up too much, well during certain songs anyway. but its in the driver's side stealth box, so a very small enclosure and not many sub options i guess
