Quote Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spl4life Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 well...if a box leaks... it loses pressure, becoming less efficient... a lil wood glue, then some fiberglass pretty much seals it for good...

Mr. Darkjustice Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 ive seen little leaks turn into big leaks which later turned into what sounded like wood slapping Quote Fusion With A Stetsom 4k2d on 2 DC XL 15s tuned to 31hz and Subs and ports forward The Revolution Was Not Televised But There Is This Thread(clicky) Dr Merkenstein is my 360 gamertag and my profession.

Boon Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It squeaks, in a nutshell. Same for ported and sealed. The 'squeak' varies though. My big box has a leak, it sounds like a slight buzzing sound at low volume. At high volume, I have other things to listen to... Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

TeamHT Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Just want a full understanding of this... well it doesnt matter whether the box is sealed or ported...the same thing is going to happen. at lower volumes it will be more of a hum...or buzzing sound and at higher volumes...obviously you get the idea. it will make the box less efficient. just think of it like whistling. the subs will still push air and it will be forced through the opening (TWSS) so also the size and degree of leak will affect the note. fail. just read the post ^ Edited May 2, 2010 by TeamHT Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?
