Topic: question on ported boxes
is it important to seal the inside edges with silicone? I would think its not necessary since air would just take the route of least resistance, the port. I know that for sealed boxes it's almost a necessity. -------------------- Arc 4150cxl-r | Arc 2500cxl Focal 165K2/TN51 tweeter | JL 12W7 (28Hz, 2.8 cu.ft)

Seal it up with silicone. Yes, the port will shuttle alot of the air out, but there is still a lot of pressure inside. You don't want any leaks. Do the job right. Besides, silicone is only like 2-3 bucks a tube anyway. --------------------Legalize Marijuana Links: www.pot-tv.net www.norml.org "We can have a democratic society, or we can have the concentration of great wealth in the hands of the few.
