phillp Silver Member Username: Holt_champ Htown, MI Post Number: 732 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 03:10 GMT yea but its not off an inch... it only wiggles in the hole and moves slightly...is there something i can use to help seal it up a little?
Showrides Silver Member Username: Showrides Hartford, CT USA Post Number: 619 Registered: Feb-06	Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 03:14 GMT Why not build a second baffle for it and make a hole the correct size? Is that an option? If the box is all assemled already, and you don't mind the cosmetics effects of doing so, you could always just attach a secon baffle onto the front of it. It would just very slightly effect the boxes internal volume, and it looks just fine.
phillp Silver Member Username: Holt_champ Htown, MI Post Number: 733 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Monday, May 14, 2007 - 03:19 GMT what if i did this...cut out the whole dimension of the subs and then put a piece of wood on teh inside and cut that to the right mounting size. so it looks like the box is built around the subs. do you konw what i mean? kinda the opposite of what you said lol
