I just made my first ever fiberglass box which I will post up when done. The problem is that when I play the sub, air leaks from in between the sub, and the box. Screws are tight, but still nada. I plan on carpeting the box, and know that will help, but is there a gasket or something I can get? Any tricks stereo guys? Thank you.

 

Foam tape from Home Depot.

 

Like 3m tape, or foam tape from a/c units? And thank you.

 

This type of stuff...

Works great.

 

Rigt on! I have some of that at home. Just stick it on the sub ring?

 

Yep. Wherever the sub ring touches the box. I usually just line around the sub cutout on the box.

 

Nice, thanks!

 

No prob man

 

Worked like a charm thanks!

Quick note to anyone else who might read this.....

I applied the foam to the back of the sub, and then got a small awl (sharp pokey tool) red hot on the stove. Then I stuck it through the screw holes in the sub frame and through the foam, melting the foam for screws. You could always thread them through, but this way you can see through the foam to the holes in the box.

 

Thats a good idea. I just screwed right through the tape.

 

nicely done,
