Sealing a Sub Driver Into a Box
Hi,
I decided on an Infinity driver for my Wife's car and wanted to know the best way to seal the driver to the box. Obviously I'll screw it in but should I use silicone or white caulk on the lip of the driver? Is there a better method? |

There should be a gasket around the underside of the lip of the driver where it contacts the edges of the box opening. Fastening the driver securely with screws should be all that you need to do to make an airtight seal. Gluing it in place with caulk will just make it harder to remove the speaker. You might want to trim any box carpet away from the edges of the opening, so the gasket on the speaker is in direct contact with the box. -- Scott Gardner "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

The tighter the seal the better It can be measured by carefully pushing
down on the cone. If you provide constant down pressure on the cone, it should not sink down very much, but instead compress the air a little bit, then pop right back up when you let off it.
