I thinK i found the problem my sub is kinda leaking around the sub what can i do to seal that? I dont wanna glue it lol

Around the sub itself? I just used silicon around the rim, let it dry and stops leaks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif No gluing involved, comes off too.

So were my negative lead bolts to the terminal was turned in and i think it was hitting the cone i turned it back facing to the side how its suppose to be and then put it back in the box it could have turned again but if not what else could be making the noise there are no air leaks and the box is about 1.15 after dis. and its a sealed box

1.15 is not "huge" really, but depending on your amp settings it is possible for you bottom out the coil in that enclosure.
