Sealing ports or new box..???
 

can I seal up ports in a box or should I just go and get a new box? How do I accomplish this? Im thinkin a ton of silicon glue and some perfectly cut plywood or something....

:confused:

best to just get a new box. most ported boxes aren't sealed around the edges as well anyway

yes I'd just spend the extra $20-30 for a new box

A ported box is just as succeptible to leaks as any sealed box is.

Taken from JL's site...

Sealing the Box
Whether you are planning to use a bandpass, ported or sealed box, sealing the edges is very important (isn't everything?). The first step to take in assuring a good tight seal at all joints is to use copious amounts of wood glue. Don't be shy with it--keep a wet rag handy to wipe up the excess. Like bracing, you can never use too much.

Even if you blocked the ports, I doubt that the ported (no sealed) enclosure will be the proper size.

make a new box.

new box LOL just bought it today and it made a WORLD of a difference. Sounds like an entirely new system :p

hhaha..cool.

subs need to be in the right enclosure to sound good.

its amazing as to how different it sounds. That was a reeeeally crappy box. Man I can't even BELIEVE anyone would have had subs in that thing.


oh BTW Im selling it :rofl: :down:

on ebay..."fast and furious subwoofer box" =P

nah I'll put JDM Type R subwoofer box. Straight from JDM land never used. Adds 50 hp do to it's light weight structure :rofl: OH and it's carbon fiber with carpet and wood veneer for the sleeper look :chuckles:
