crack in rubber surround on ns 12

[drapedupDTS 0]

when i put the subs in about two weeks ago the box slid back towards the trunk lid while being played and caused a crack in the surround on one of em. trying to avoid getting a recone b/c the sub plays fine, just thinking about the longevity aspect

another question is that im thinking about getting another box made along the lines of 3.5-4 cubes @ the lowest possible tuning and still get loud. i was thinking 30 hz for these beasts.

Try sealing it up with some silicon. Also, put a piece of MDF down to space the sub box from the trunk lid to prevent future accidents.

yeah i already did the mdf part... so just any old silicone would be fine... any brands to look for.

I used the black stuff made for putting in windshields when I tore the surround on my DD's.

Been about 6 months and still working fine.

Some black RTV (Permatex) would probably work ok.
