dented dustcap

xtreamcc  What?  A sealed box is exactly that it's sealed yes there will be two different pressures on the box.  No matter where the vent for the sub (unless it's inverted but even then the sub can still colapse... more on that later)  as lon as the box is sealed (hince the word sealed, aka no air leeks)  there will be two differnet pressures.  Now, actually the first story I told was wrong for a regular mounted sub.  The sub should actually go out more (a baloon blown up at sea level will expand the higher in elevation you go)  and the surround will rip.  But then you can say that you have your sub mounted inverted w/ the magnet out and the story will hold correct then.  But honestly i would just stick it in the box and play it.  Nothing you can do w/out damaging the speaker any more.  i think.

I'd recomend calling JL and explaining the problem.  I woudln't be surprised if they send you out a new dustcap.  then you just glue a new one over the old one.

Oh sure......., now it's a joke! Sorry dude, as you are fairly new here I do not know how to take your comments as legitimate or humourus. In the future I'll read your comments a little closer and look for the punch line. That said though, even I joke around and while I may say things that are blatently obvious for all to see, it is easy for someone to take what I say seriously as well, as I did with you. No harm done though.
