All leaks are a big deal. or wrong and if i silicone all the seams of the box on the outside is that going to seal up any small leaks i may have... If it works in aquariums and bathrooms, it'll certainly work in your subwoofer enclosure. Seal your joints with silicone caulk and make sure it has a chance to completely cure-up before putting your subwoofer back in there. And whatever you do, don't stick your head into the box during the curing process (http://mobile.jlaudio.com/ support_pages.php?page_id=164). ...or should i use a fiberglass resin and cloth kit to seal all my exterior seams? This is a like using a nuclear-powered sledge hammer to kill ants. It's way overkill and way toxic. Stick with the silicone caulk; as far as I know, acetic acid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid) is non-carcinogenic (it won't give you cancer) like the ingredients in fiberglass resin (and the fibers themselves) will. any help would be greatly appreciated Just keep it sane. -dan |
