don't know about how big to make the baffle behind the speaker
no, you don't have to fully enclose it
using your stock kicks and fiberglassing them is easiest
have fun sanding!

You might consider buying the Q-Forms if you've never glassed before. If this is your first attempt, expect the first couple of tries to come out looking nothing like what you expected. The best method I've seen is one WhiteRabbit posted a while back. I'm sure it's still on here somewhere. Just don't expect perfect results your first couple of times.
