you NEED to seal off the box.

go you HD and buy a $3 tube of silicone sealant.

coat all the inner seams with it, and let it dry.

THEN listen.

a leaky box will ALWAYS sound like crap!

i guess you're one step ahead of my last post.

but assassin's are GREAT subs for the money.

In all the cases I've heard of, the rl-i is louder than the assassin. So if you aren't happy with that, then doing a "downgrade" won't help. However, you have a faulty box, and assuming you seal it off good, you'll probably be surprised tomorrow when you hear it properly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

it made me sad when assassins finally went up in price //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Would the assassin be a better choice considering my enclosure and power options? The other sub that I decided against when I bought the RL-i was an IDQ 10...

Would either of those do better in the box i have with 300RMS?

y did u put 1 8 in a car anywayz..

AA 10"

That'd be much better for you enclosure. That box is too big for an AA 8".

Hold on guys, i want to snap a pic of the box so you can see where im leaking air from...BRB 20 seconds

80

here is the pic i just got of the sub and the box. See that MDF ring on the top? Air comes from under there and I should have it taken care of when the caulking dries. I cant imagine that it will make THAT much of a difference though...

Thats what i was talking about, i would just cut the whole bigger if this doesnt work out for me...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Is there any particular reason you have an MDF ring? I just drilled mine right into the box and let the rubber ring around them seal it off.

Funny story acctually...and by funny i mean kill myself. When I cut the hole I was hardcore out of it and cut an 8" hole:uhoh: IDIOT

So I made a 10" MDF ring to go under it so i could screw the **** thing in. Yeah, laugh....its my first box and I feel like I did pretty **** good.
