sbg Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 I'm sure the hole at the bottom needs sealed but does the gate vent need to? 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

TeamHT Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Where is the enclosure located, how is it loading? The obvious answer would be yes. You can not guess an amount like .5-1 decibel but how much would really depend on a couple factors. Easiest way...measure then seal it off and measure again. I wonder if there's even an audible difference. Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
sbg Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 U can see box in pic. Sub to gate port up, and that's why I was putting this post up, to see if people think its a audible difference. Like if I was to pick up 1db I would be all about sealing it back up! 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

mbdblue Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 Fix the seal, leave the vent. ^ yep....the vent is probably to relieve pressure in the cabin.
