  2. Box Warranty

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted · Edited by MyLimpIsGangsta

    Is there glue currently bonding the wood together?

    I would suggest sealing it off yourself externally, go grab you a tube of silicon and have at it. It would only cost like $5, so it is worth a shot.

    That sounds like the easiest thing to do, just don't want to somehow void my warranty. If I'm SOL here and can't get it fixed I'll give that a shot. Just hoping I don't have to settle for something just because it's easier for them to do it that way.

    Oh and it was glued when first built so that is still there but there was no new glue added, just more screws

    Did he use just screws or nails? Or did he use glue? Did he seal it with resin/silicon/ any other thing?

    Well it smelled like glue when I first got the enclosure so I know it was glued then but when I took it back in for repair all I can tell he did was add like 10 more screws.

    how is it leaking? the glue should be holding the panels together.

    I think it is coming loose again at the bracing and allowing the rear to flex. That's what I was told was happening to it the last time I brought it in.

    And I still have my copies of receipts showing I bought a lifetime warranty. I don't believe I could have caused this box any harm, he knew which subs were going in there and should have built it accordingly.

    Well I had a local audio shop built an enclosure for me last year. It was great until a a month ago.

    The back of the box was leaking, a few of the screw heads holding the bracing broke off.

    I took it in and let them have it for a few hours and all I could tell was that he put a bunch of extra screws in,

    it stopped the leak for a couple weeks and is now doing it again. The builder told me the only other thing he could do

    is add more bracing to the inside which would cut down my net volume.

    My question is, is this a common practice? I paid for an 8 cu. ft. box, shouldn't he be required to provide me with

    that free of leaks?

    I bought a life time warranty on this, figured it would cover such things.

    I appreciate any insight in advance.
