[QUOTE="vblasi29, post: 8095899, member: 654652"] Before the sub was in a wicked lousy box that was smaller WITH the poly fill. The reason I needed to get a new one was because around where the connection area was on the old box, the wood was literally crumbling from unscrewing and screwing on that connection port thing. (really, please excuse my terminology..it *****) The amp is not in protect mode or anything.. I have had the amp and sub hooked up since Aug. 2011 with no issues. and as far as the amp, any time I have had a blown fuse or bad ground or whatever, it always goes into protect mode. This time the amp is still on..blue light..no protect. and the speaker wires are good speaker wires..they are not crappy cheap ones and they are the same ones that I had used before switching boxes. Could it hypothetically be this...if the old box was supposed to be "sealed" but really wasn't "sealed" since it was so old and basically falling apart at the seams, I imagine air or whatever was escaping and not really contained. Now since I put it in a brand new completely sealed up box, could that tension from being so enclosed with no "leaks" have put too much strain on the sub that it wasn't really used to being under? If that completely doesn't make sense just let me know..I am a nursing student so I guess I am trying to observe this from a high blood pressure point of view..haha [/QUOTE]
