i built a box today
i dont know how it happened but i guess i messed up a little bit and there is a small gap along the top of one side. i didnt have time to seal it today but the subs dont really sound that great. when i make the box airtight will it be better???

it wil make it a little better but not that much. it kinda depends on how big the gap is. you need to put silicone in all of the places where the wood butts.

cut like a 3/4 x 3/4 strip of wood & patch/secure it from the inside with nails/screws & def put some liquid nails 2 ensure its airtight .

On the outside use some wood filler & when u have it carpetted no1 will know what mistakes u made .....

i just filled the gap with liquid nails...sounds 100 times better

now that i have that piece of sh!t box out of the car all i need to worry about is the rattling of the door and then im set
