ToNasty Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Use a good silicone on all the joints inside of the box. Quote ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 CVX Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 If it's built right you won't even need silicone. just glue that fucker together and let it rip!

SWIFT Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 If it's built right you won't even need silicone. just glue that fucker together and let it rip! Wood glue is not a sealant, no reason other than being lazy not to silicon or use Liquid nails.

tacomaguy1 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I almost never use silicon to seal my boxes....if your joints fit together perfect (which they should), the wood glue will ooze out sealing the joints Quote Team Flex Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make your cuts right and use enough glue., the box will seal its self. Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

Crandis16 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 if you're really worried about blowing the sucker apart then you can fiberglass it Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-dubs89 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 if you are worried about your joints inside your box you could do a layer of fiberglass on all you joints , a good layer of glass and resin should ensure a seal as well as add structure . i like bedliner for boxes but i have thought about wrapping a box in vinyl but i'm not sure how smooth that might go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john253a Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 as said before, if your cuts are straight, no silicon is needed, for small gaps, make a paste with glue and sawdust shavings and push it in there, if you choose to use silicon on the gaps make sure you push it in to the gap and not just as a nice bead over them, also make sure you use a flexible silicon, otherwise with the movement of the box, and curing it will crack or shrink, and no longer work as intended you also need to be aware that with some silicones you need to wait 24-48hr+ before you can fit you sub, as the fumes can break down the surround of your sub (weather it be fact or fiction, i dont have the money to test it out so i just wait) also no form of paint, of any type will be a long term fix to seal up a box (even if flexi-add is used) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
