If I purchase this subwoofer box dooes anyone suggest I place silicone on the corners and joints of the inside in order to liminate any air leaks?

I did, especially around the connector which wasn't sealed at all. It's a very good sounding box.

I don't have any air leaks around any of my seals. So it doesn't need them, but it wouldn't hurt anything if you felt like spending the extra time and money.

I inspected my box pretty good before I put my sub in it and it seemed pretty solid, I've had it since mid summer now and it's still going strong with my Rockford t1d212. It wouldn't hurt but I don't think it needs it

You could for your own piece of mind, i didn't. Its solid as they come, I've had no air leaks at all. I mean it's certainly not going to hurt anything, but you shouldnt need to.

Honestly if your that worried about the quality in your enclosure you should simply build it yourself. This box is air tight but the mdf used is 1/2 in. which has been known to flex which will cause a decrease in bass production also, this enclosure will likely not meet the manufacturers specifications for volume futher more decreasing bass production.

Couldn't hurt but probably not needed. The box is well built and sealed pretty well from the factory.

It's a really nice box, hope you have plenty room it's a decent size and very deep for big magnet subs and has a labryth build for deep bass. I don't know what ohms your going to run. I think that subwoofer is 4ohm you can look up how to wire it down to 2ohm, sometimes even in the installation instructions. But I love that box and I'm only pushing 500 watts and it shakes my SUV, I'm using pure copper wires throughout my setup though.

A bigger concern for me is that you need to treat the receiver like a subwoofer: you certainly don't want it in a component cabinet with all your other gear.

Short answer; yes, the sub is in contact with the seat bottom, although it hasn't been an issue, even with someone sitting on that side. I've had the box installed for a year now, with a JL audio sub. The bass is tight & accurate, I'm driving it with a 500 watt Alpine & I'm happy with it.

Shouldn't be a problem. Make sure your paint will stick to the plastic housing. Masque the foam sound slots to prevent paint from getting on the foam and reducing the sound output.

You could switch out the speaker if you were really willing to compromise the structure of the box. The box may not be sealed very well if you take them out i would recommend resealing the box up if you switch the subs out. I would get it done professionally. If there are any new holes for air to escape you will lose bass and maybe get a vibrating noise.

If this is a system with internal fans throughout the piping the foam may reduce a small amount of noise probably not worth it for your application. We had an enclosure in a studio that had a venting system and we lined the inside of the enclosure with the foam as well and you could barely hear the cooking fans, computers, and other rack gear that may have created a low end hum. I don't know if that answers your question or not hope it helps.

I have my subwoofer horizontal (fabric side up) and it works fine. So, I'd say absolutely!

This would not be good for speaker insulation. Go get some ownens pink fiberglass from somewhere like home depot, I use 4" thick. The sound needs to go through the insulation to the box yet be deadened a little, this will probably deaden it too much.

No. The subwoofer faces down so it needs a hard surface to sit on. Plus the sides are curved

For a sealed enclosure like for 1.25cu.ft and 1.5cu.ft for ported. I personally have mine in this box, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004X63LQ2 gives some good clean bass while still delivering strong bass.

Your best bet honestly would be to go get a custom box built for this particular sub. Reason being the quality of the boxes sold here are TRASH!!!!!. Go to a shop and have them put the specs of the sub on a program and build the box for it to the specs of the sub.

Sealed, ported boxes don't really give you the full potential of the sub, that's just my opinion.. I have it sealed.

The box has about 1.5 cubic feet per chamber. If the sub specifically states that it needs more air space than that then no. But with most 15 in subwoofers they need between 1 to 3 cubic feet per sub, and most can get away with 1.5 cubic feet. So in my opinion they would fit just fine

Not necessarily, should be placed where the bass Output is most pleasing to your seating arrangement. Experiment with location to take advantage of the room's acoustic response. Check the internet for hints on subwoofer placement for much more and better advice than there is room for here...

Probably not. Its only like 4 inch's deep. I put a normal sub but had to invert it. Nice box but had to re caulk inside corners from leaking air

Sealed boxes will produce a better sound quality based on what type of subwoofer you use, but a ported box will be louder.
