You mean use a plate instead of a box? Plate's suck.

If you mean a plate over the box, then it depends. You could put the box in the well with the subs facing up, and use a plate with the holes cut out as a flush-mount with grills or something else over the holes to allow the bass to pass and that would be ok. But, if you just mean throw a slab o' wood over the box, that will block the sound.

Plates suck. Going from a box to a plate is like trading a 2000 Camaro SS in for a Cavalier.
