So true [img]smile.gif[/img] Make shure the box is air tight.

Also less connections = less problems to go wrong. </font>[/QUOTE]well, if you run a ported box, it shouldnt matter if you had a couple of small holes drilled through the box for speaker wire, or should it?

does making it "air tight" referring to only sealed boxes? </font>[/QUOTE]The world record holder in street A last year told us that all his boxes are pressure tested with air, and he runs a ported box. Basicly plug off the port and put an air line in it, and if she flexes, fix it and if it leaks fix that too. [img]smile.gif[/img]
To seal up the speaker wire just use silicone or any type of sealent. [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

Ideally, yea the box should definatly be sealed up (excluding the port )

But, I remember a story about an installer who was super about this.... so his buddies drilled 3/4" hole (or something) in a spot where he wouldnt see it...

After a week since he hadnt noticed, they let him in on their little joke..... [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
