Zero_Tolerance_ Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 After completing my box and putting my FI SSD 12 in, I started playing it and noticed a rattle. I figured it would because I don't have the top of my box glued down at the moment and is just screwed down so that was shaking quite a bit. I held it down while it was still playing and that went away but I noticed there is a sort of boomy hammer on wood noise, I've never heard before. I heard before that some people put sound dampener on the inside of the box. Is this a good idea and would you recommend I do this? My box is ported btw.

Or you can glue and screw the top down and try again if it makes that noise...usually fiberglass inside the box, i haven't seen any box yet with sound dampener in them...

If I glue it down it's not coming back off.. Like I said when i held it down the rattle went away but there was a hammer on wood kind of noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Why does it matter if it can come back off? Build the fucking box right and be done with it. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQL50 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 If you can hold it down and the problem goes away, the logical thing to do is what islandpride said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes in bandpass boxes you can do an access to service the subs but in ported/sealed I can't figure out why you have the top off honestly.

hdorre Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Try and see of PL, and then maybe glass/mat solves it. HOWEVER.. This kinda makes me think about the integrity of the rest of the box..

Sometimes in bandpass boxes you can do an access to service the subs but in ported/sealed I can't figure out why you have the top off honestly. If it is a bandpass, he can still use threaded inserts and machine screws, along with cork or a bead of silicone to seal it all up. Would still be removable, and the gasket material would provide some tension between the faces of the wood once everything was torqued in place. Pics of the box in question would solve a lot of these "what ifs". 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Build the fucking box right and be done with it.The only reason I didn't glue it down yet is because I wanted to see if there was any problem with the box....If you can hold it down and the problem goes away, the logical thing to do is what islandpride said.The rattle is the only part that goes away.. For the third time of me saying it, there is still a hammer on wood type of noise that I can hear, this is what I'm trying to solve...I just asked a simple question guys..

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Did you brace the the box? baffle flex sounds like a hammer on wood. Also is the rest of the box glued? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
