air comming out of my cone??

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

Well, i bought a sealed box 1.5ft^3 and i mean i am pretty sure that it is **** sealed. I push it in and i can hear the air comming out, i push it down and feel around the ouside for leaks, i do not feel any. Well i use two hand real soft and i swear to you i feel air comming out of the whole cone. It is an IDQ 15". The sub somes out real slow and is there any way for it to push out air besides the cone or leaks? Or is it repsose to not push air out and pop right bak at me? Just curious if i should go buy a different box or build a new one or somthing. Help me out.

Get some resin and coat the inside of it.

or you can not push on the freekin cone, its probably air coming out from around the woofer and screws etc.

well the cone is made out of somethiing i have never felt before and it seems as if it is crazy briaded or something. I am not sure and will try it out when i get it all hooked up.

Is an IDQ15 and I felt it today. You can hear air but feel none except the entire cone where you can feel a slight breeze of air going under your hand. reacts like a sealed box thought. hard to push in and slow return

i guess this whole issue is a matter of how long it takes to ship my amp to me. I am not sure what but i am buying one tomarrow. It is only hooked up to my small home amp. I will see if it is a problem when i put some real power to it.
