Like what 97teg said...if you wrapped up the basket and magnet, you basically closed up all airspace behind the speaker. I can not see the logic behind that. I just see issues like the speaker sounding crappy or even the thing over heating.
Are you sure this professional shop didnt assume that you meant deadening the panel that will be the back of the speaker, and not the speaker itself?
Deaden panels, not baskets.

Were talking about the coaxil not the sub. Who knows maybe a small enclosure will shape the response to what you like. Its tough to say for sure. If the panel its mounted to is well sealed from the interior space i wouldn't bother though. You could try building a small enclosure instead it would probably be better.
Of course for the sub its a bad idea.

Don't put any deadening on the speaker itself. Just seal up the doors using deadener. If you wanted to make an enclosure for the coax (not sure why... it's just a coax), you could fab something up using fiberglass... but it really wouldn't be worth it for a run-of-the-mill coax...

I agree with totalimmortal...horrible idea.
I just deadened my doors and all is good now.
When I built I wasnt looking to win any comps, if I was then I would be winning comps
I just wanted a nice tight sound.
I'm AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL about the SQ and in my experiance it is a better route.
I have heard peoples systems sound like CRAP because they thought the bigger the better.
In my case NOT TRUE, just looking to get the most bang (so to speak) for my buck, and I do appreciate all the responses for everything.
Just starting to learn about the differences between car and home audio(which I've been in for 6 years now) and the subtle little things make all the change.
We were ALL newbs at sometime, and its important that we keep that in mind to help out the next person.
Anyways what it all comes down to with audio is what matters to YOUR ear, what sounds good to 1 may sound like shit to another.
Just my own .02 and a half cents.
