Will Double Baffle Block backflow of basket?

So i am a bit puzzled right now, lets see if any one in here knows if it will be fine, and if so why lol..

Call me crazy but i was looking at the setup on the sub and became concerned. If you double baffle your box, which you should with these subs. How in the world does this sub's cone breathe/vibrate the air in the box on the top opening. Having the double baffle would completely close of the top opening.





I don't mean to sound dumb in any way, so please feel free to clear this confusion up. and from my understanding the bottom opening is for the voice coil to breath/vent?

i think you missed my main point, how is the sub suppose to vibrate/move the air behind the cone, if the top opening is blocked off from having the double baffle boards?

Air/Heat cane go right out of the bottom portion with the mesh. My BMs are the same way. The top basket holes are covered by the baffle but heat escapes from the mesh openings on the bottom (the black looking squares are hard mesh). You'll be fine.

So if im getting this right all the air that will be move will travel through the spiders and vent through the bottom opening?

Update:

So today i started the box, worked on it for a few hours got about 90% done. Need to cut holes for subs and aeros. Also need to glue top piece on. Then i need to clean up some edges and it should be good to go. But here are progress pictures.
