Like others have said, replacement coax's are set up for big space (relative) like the decklid using the trunk as a "box". I've even used foam baffles for 6 1/2 components in doors and cut out some of the bottom. Still have all the air they want, but 95% protected from dripping water or condensation.

I like the new upper end Kickers btw. A lot better than they were a couple years ago as long as you're not entry level. Sound is super subjective though, everybody has their own taste.
The foam baffles, we used to cut one in half so a pair of them got us water protection in 4 doors or 2 sets of speakers..
A sealed box/tube won't harm them, and if water is an issue less likely to allow water near the connections .
