[QUOTE="Vocaloid, post: 8503593, member: 669952"] I think you can still save it. After caulking up the plastic terminals, you can take it farther if you want. If you use a clear sealant, you can make a ring around where the speaker sits then drop it back in. There are many reasons not to do this (damage to surround material from the fumes, permanent ugly sealant all over your speaker basket and box, etc..) but if you seal it, it will fix the air leaking through the seams around the woofer. I usually do a very light ring on the speaker cutout on the box, put the sub in, then do a bathroom tub style ring around the basket to get a nice clean edge all around. Same with any suspect seams on the box itself inside, or running a ring of sealant around the port (inside of the box). Air leaks are bad for sure. Or you can flip the speaker over (and reverse the positive and negative leads) using the subs gasket to seal the gap too. That also would change the volume inside too though... But take Jeffdachef's advice too and make sure it's not the speaker. [/QUOTE]
