subwoofer boxes

[DavePostle]

should a subwoofer box be air tight? because i unscrewed mine to look at the speakers and now when i screwed them back in air comes out a bit through the previous screw holes and i was wondering if that will effect the sound quality

it should be air tight..if a sealed box...just unscrew it and use some silicone..to fill in the holes<BR>jason

Actually in ANY box it should be air tight, the only place air should escape is from the designated area (port holes, horn slot). You can also put some weather stripping around it, it will give you a real nice seal.<p>[ November 24, 2001: Message edited by: VizualXTC ]
