Using a sub with no dustcap

[Anonymous User 10+ year member]

is it bad to use a sub without a dustcap? im only running it like this until i get some CA glue or epoxy. I took it off b/c the 1st time i put epoxy on it wasnt enough to seal it so, it would rattle & vibrate on some notes.

I wouldn't think it would hurt it. You'd just be losing SPL from it.

I've seen a couple people run it until they put the dustcap back on it.

What kind of sub is it anyway?

It won't hurt it at all.

shouldn't be to much of a problem. i wouldn't run one to long without it though.

sub is a 12" fully loaded btl.

So I'll be fine running it like this for a day or two

as long as you don't wang on it, i think it would be fine.

Like they said, dirt gets in the gap, you're fcked. You'd have to invest in a new recone...

Is it even really worth it?

Buddy of mine blew the dust cap off 1 of his 16 10"s turned out to be louder cause the one with no dust cap turned into a port //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

really ? he folded the cone up too, because normally you still have your VC going into the magnet gap and not a whole lot of room for air to get through the gap. And the cone under the dustcap that came off wasnt moving either, or it was ported through a cone where the dustcap used to be, hmmmm.

get some glue and fix your BTL.
