the vid shows the bottom of the box leaking like crazy, the wood is vibrating, and the box is moving as the bass hits. any ideas on how to keep my box in one spot without it moving around.

My 12xxx moves the box when it hits also. Use "L" brackets to hold it in place, or use velcrow.

velcro won't do the job. i would rather use the L brackets as he said and screw it down to the floor board.

1 of my boxes for my 12W7 did that.

bracing ftw.

dont mean to post jack but i'm trying fo find some small triangulated L brackets to use as bracing since i don't feel like cutting out a bunch of lil pieces of wood. i know they say in home audio that having your subwoofer mounted solid (ie spikes) will increase output and clarity but will the same apply for car audio??

better get some gorilla glue to seal up the leak and then as everyone else said use L brackets

gorilla glue was used to seal the box up, he may have forgotten to put screws in..iiiiiidkkkkkkkk..i dont feel like trying to take the box out again cuz the surround gets scuffed everytime i take the box in and out cuz its such a tight fit..

i didnt use a single screw in my old box and it didnt have any leaks, should have sealed then inside edges //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
