Sub enclosure vibration/flexing...

When I put my hand on the box, I can feel it vibrating which doesn't seem normal to me. Am I losing output because of this? What could be causing it?

yes you are losing output. and the most probable cause is that the enclosure does not have sufficient bracing.

yup, what the residant idiot said

Doubt it's due to lack of bracing as it is a single sub enclosure, but could it be due to not be sealed off correctly?

sure, dont listen to me because im sure that you have much more experience with enclosures than I do.

No, its due to lack of bracing, what kind of sub and what kind of box is it (sealed/ported/volume/tune/dimensions/who built it)?

the problem is that you have a pos enclosure. next time build one the correct way.

Sorry didn't mean to come across that way, I obviously posted here because I need your expertise.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif The enclosure is a $20 pos prefab sealed box.

get rid of it. I can design/build one or you can figure out a way to design your own. I would prefer it if you would do the second option. if you do ask plenty of questions along the way as it is a wonderful learning experience. I really wish more people knew how to design their own shiz these days...

Sub is a jl 10w3v3 powered off the rear channels of a zed draconia II (400w RMS)

I have built/designed a few enclosures in the past, boy would I love to. Unfortunately, I don't have the workspace to do so. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
