Is it bad to put a Neon tube light in and enclosed sub box?

I figured the air pressure and temp (if any) might be bad for the sub or neon -

not trying to shatter any glass or cause any fires ya know

Its perfectly fine to put neons inside the box. Good neon lights have a very durable plastic (I believe it's lexan), and are very resistant to pressure. I had them in my sealed enclosure and I never had any problems with them. Also, make sure that the holes you fish your wires through are completely sealed after.

yep those neons should be fine and seal those holes up REALLY good cuz it can effect performance quite a bit
