Is your enclosure braced?

 

[mooseman16 10+ year member]

its only .8 cubes and its sealed so i didnt think it would need bracing?

gasket leak or the terminal cup leaking

.8 cubes per chamber right?

 

[mooseman16 10+ year member]

yea its .8 per chamber

im pretty sure that its not the terminal cup because im not using one and i know that its completely sealed

i was thinking that it might be some of the seams in the box so i recaulked a couple of places and i think that might be it

Remove sub(s) from box and check to see if there's anything that could vibrate and cause the noise. Also test subs in free air to see if its coming from sub.
