The stock enclosures are definitely open. There are two large ports that open into the side rail of the chassis. There is lots of volume in there I would surmise, may or may not be closed. I would guess that there are holes though and the seal from enclosure to chassis not air tight.
I put some dynamat on the back side of the enclosure for fun.
