hw to fix surronds take a piece of thin fabric like button up dress shirt material and apply a thin layer of goop to it and stick it under the surrond.

looks like there wasnt enough glue on the joints.... boxes shouldnt break like that.

Get a old bicycle inner tube or a new one and Rubber cement a piece of it (slightly larger than the hole) to the back of the surround that's your best solution bud!!

Finger nail polish. I know it sounds stupid but it works like a champion.

ok so im goona attempt to fix my box. this is my idea so far i baught a peice of mdf 3/4 thick what my plans are is to cut the mdf to fit over the box about 2 inches under the port. i want to do this twice so it will kinda be double baffled then of course cut the hole for the sub.

questions

1. does this sound like a decent idea?

2. what should i use to seal the space between the carpet and the new wood im goona put on there?

3. is this going to throw off my tuning of the box any?

bump i would apprecite some advice before using srewing shit onto my box..

its going to change your tuning a little bit, the basket is going to take up less space with a double baffle. just make sure the new baffle is flat against the box and use wood glue and clamp or maybe screw the second baffle on.

ya i figured i would screw first one down then second and use some sort of silcone around the edges not the prettest but hope fully will work and will it higher or lower the tuning?
