[QUOTE="Justinw303, post: 1233149, member: 561389"] Ok, so I finally got my dad to help me finish installing my system today. 2 10" RE RE's powered by a Phoenix Gold Xenon 400.1. So we hook the power wire to the battery and it's time to go. I crank it up, set the subwoofer volume on my CD player all the way up, and set the gains at a little under halfway for now because it was late and I didn't feel like doing the whole DMM thing tonight. So I put on some David Banner and I notice that only one sub is hitting. I check the wiring at the amp and everything is secure. Therefore, we (my dad and I) figure one of the wires came loose on the inside of the box. No biggie, we'll fix it later. So I ride up to Burger King to give it a listen and grab a bite to eat. Everything sounds good. I get home and invite my sister to listen to it. Everything is fine. When she leaves, I get out and flip the seat forward (It's in a standard cab F-150) to make sure everything is fine. As I had feared, the sub was rattling a little and when I leaned closer I could feel air leaking around the mounting holes. So... How can I fix this easily?
