So recently I got my DC5K running my two DC XL12's and they were sounding great.
A week ago I noticed a harsh rattling noise that I figured was my fiberglass trim piece around the subs or maybe the rear deck.....
Boy was I wrong once I started looking closer.
Well check out the bottom edge of my sub baffle (pardon the dirt, I'm still working on the front of the box):
Yep...the whole bottom edge is cracked apart from the bottom plate of the box.
This is a double baffle of 3/4" MDF which is also cut on an angle so there's >1.5" of contact area which broke loose....
Here's a video which shows the issue better:
I was hoping it wasn't something serious like a damaged sub or something, but I was quite surprised that it turned out to be this.
My first reaction was to be pissed, but I have to say I'm not mad at all, in fact I'm quite impressed.
It's not like I have a wall either with long sides that could flex. This should have been pretty solid.
Hmmm, maybe I didn't use enough glue, who knows...?
Anyway just wanted to share.
Rusty, thank you, I think for definitely making some bad ass equipment.
