Is the leak at the port? If it is big enough for glue to just "fall though", then I would be cautious of the whole enclosure. Sounds like it was not properly put together.

If it is still some what strong(if that is even possible) you can use a silicone based product to seal that edge. I would still shy away from that enclosure though.

Is it a leak in the sub or the box (enclosure?) If its in the box, just use silicone. Squirt a line of it on there then smear it with your finger. Will make it airtight.

what type of silicone?

and its not part of the structure at all, its 110% fully stable

But not properly put together or air tight.. if that is part of the port it is structural lol

Sorry had to do that to ya..but truth is truth...

If you are ok with the enclosure hit up walmart and snag some silicone. All you have to do in this case.

Caulk from the inside and buy some wood filer and put on the outside and sand down to make it look good.
