[QUOTE="xluben, post: 2081005, member: 568852"] yeah, wood glue defnitely wouldn't fill it, but i'm pretty sure the silicone did a good job of plugging the holes. i got it installed this morning and it sounds quite good. i didn't lose as much out put as i expected (but i am giving the assassin nearly double it's RMS of 350W at about 650W right now!). i DID lose a LOT of low end, though. the songs that used to really shake my car now sound weak and don't hit hard at all. [I]if[/I] i decide to re-do the box, i'm thinking of going down to a tuning of 30Hz. like this: [URL="http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=32&Eh=14&Dia=6&Xmax=15.5&Vd=.08&NumW=1&Vb=2&Fb=30&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0"]http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=32&Eh=14&Dia=6&Xmax=15.5&Vd=.08&NumW=1&Vb=2&Fb=30&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0[/URL] do you think that 25in^2 of port is enough for most 12" subs (in case i get something else in the future)? i know bigbassman uses four 4" aero ports for his two Mag's so if that's enough port area for him, i'd think it'd be enough for any driver in my price range ( [/QUOTE]
