"Mouse house for sale"? In the eyes of mice...what an awesome condo that would have been, with the fancy tunnel entrance and all... Rats ate my woofer - Page 2 -- posted image.

Good thing you didn't have a car stored in the garage during that time. I work in pest control, and I had a client that started service after he discovered that the Porche he had covered and stored for the winter had a mouse nest in the engine compartment. Lots of wires chewed through in that, too. Now I'll be sure to include old ported subwoofer boxes on my list of inspection areas!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Wow, that sucks. My friend had the Beta subs and they were nice. If you need parts to rebuild the sub, I'm sure Dan could probably get you some sources for it.

Thanks, Steven, I just may do that. I was actually thinking this is the perfect excuse to try one of the new Koda woofers when they're ready... Rats ate my woofer - Page 2 -- posted image.

DYohn, how could you NOT see the damage on that cone??? Or maybe it fell apart after you pulled it back out? Anyway, I hate mice. 'Bout as worthless as flies and moles...the fookers just keep coming back! Rats ate my woofer - Page 2 -- posted image.

Ah, well. Guess you get some new gear now, eh?

No, the damage is all rodent-related. It was in a 4th order BP so the driver was inside the enclosure and not visible from the outside. All looked fine until I pulled it apart and said "Damn." Or words to that effect.

Had a customer buy an Alpine "R" series woofer in a bandpass box. About 3 weeks later he comes back in complaining about how his truck stinks. While resisting the urge to suggest ha change his personal hygiene habits, I follow him out to his truck. He says to smell the port on the floor demo box in the truck. Sure enough, stunk like hell. Pulled the glass panel and wooferand sure enough inside is a decomposing mouse that had crawled in thru the port and was unable to climb back out! Cost me $80 to have his car detailed but the LMAO factor was almost worth it.

There is no such thing as free installation!
