This doesn't look right..

If the walls are not loose and rattling, you are fine.

Just not built as well as it could be.

I don't understand why people don't check everything when you buy it or receive it. You wait until now? Is it because of the uproar of bad boxes from Vitveet? From the boxes I have seen, his work is pretty ******. I would never buy from him. That doesn't look like water damage and why would only the inside panel of the port on the corner have water damage when your whole box isn't damaged at all? Unless he had the piece that had water damage on it already and decided to use it anyways, but it still doesn't look like swelling. I think its screws too close to the edge and wall to many close to each other like that. Can someone actually show GOOD work done by Vitveet?

it will be just fine as long as the glue holds which it should but ya those are definately screws too close to the edge of the wood and way too many. just keep an eye on it but you should be fine.

So you guys are saying it was fine until he used it for a few months and then all of a sudden screws started popping out the sides?

haha I dont think that is what they are saying. I think those screws have always been that close together and that far from the center of that wood. I do not think the OP noticed in excitement to get his sub installed. Later on, he came back and saw how crappy the box was put together.

Not trying to hate on anyone. I have had MANY MANY boxes with uncentered screws that have looked like that. Actually, since I dont take much time on my boxes, they all **** pretty bad.

negatory good sir, it was great when i first got the box. there were no imperfections. and so far, you're the only one so far on this thread that claims he does a bad job //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

i check my stuff out all the time when i get it shipped to me. i abhor even the littles blemishes when i buy my stuff brand spanking new. i looked inside that port, and i would never have been able to tell that screws were too close together at first, one, because it was painted on, and two, it hadn't shriveled up like that yet. i guess in due time, after countless hours of play, it just gave out? yes, though poorly made. :\

i too thought this was screws too close to the edge but i dont think it would just happen. the bulging of screws shows up immediately...not a year afterwards.

This is 110% obvious to ANY box builder.
The screws are not centered in the MDF. They are too close to the edge, that caused the bowed look.

Also, the screws are FAR too close together. They should never be closer than 4-5" to one another, otherwise you risk splitting the MDF.

Water-damage/mold....no...just NO.

Yep. It's screws.

 

[bassman3 10+ year member]

Like others said, it just doesn't show up a year later. You most likely missed it when observing the enclosure at first. I am 100% positive they are screws too close to the edge thus creating a small bulge in the outer MDF. It will not affect any quality as long s it isn't wobbling around. And this is about the 4th time I have now seen a thread about his enclosures and people questioning the quality of them.

Hello screws, I wouldn't worry about it unless the box started making weird noises.

 

[150dbs 10+ year member]

Screws. Should have centered and predrilled em.
