Box problem

[Steelemayne 10+ year member]

Hey guys my friend just went and bought a single 12" pro box for his Mtx 7500 but for some reason the sub wont go all the way into to the box? Does anyone know what is causing this? thanks.

Is the sub too deep for the box? Is the port in the way of the sub? Does the sub require a larger cutout than the average 12?

I measured to find out if when the sub is putting into the box if its hitting the port and it has roughly 2" of clearance. Im not sure if it requires a larger cutout, it was just in a pre-fab box and it measured up to the same as the pro box... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

That's really odd. If it's got clearance and the cutout measures the same as the previous box. I guess double, triple, and quadruple check that nothing is in it's way when inserting into the box. I don't know what else to say. Maybe the sub just doesn't like the box.

Funny question. The cutout hole on the box is probably too small.

Yeah we have measured everything 4-5 times now..we are trying to sand down the cutout now to see if that will work...i could take pics if u think it will help anything

I personally don't think pics would help out too much. It would be much easier to see it in person and try and find what's blocking it. Is there anything on the back of the sub from the old box?

That looks like it's only missing by a hair.

the cutout is prolly too small. run a finger around the sub and see if any part of the basket is touching the side

looks like cutout is a little small,that *****,but if you get a rough wood file you should be able to go around the edge a few times until it fits.a cheap file is only about 5 bucks, and would be faster than sanding. if you decide to use a jigsaw,make sure to pull that carpet back somehow or it will chew it up.

well we have been sanding the living **** out of it and its getting closer and closer each time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
