Thanks for all the replies, I've been busy building the subs (and working) and haven't had a chance to reply 'til now.

I suspect the noise would be negligble because the length of the hose in relationship to the diameter would not allow much air to be displaced rapidly. Slow air makes little noise. If you don't believe me, take 2 feet of 1/8" ID hose put it to your mouth and blow as hard as you can, I suspect the only noise you will hear is your pulse pounding in your temples, until you pass out.

I chose not to implement this, as I felt that I'm not such a good cabinet maker that these subs would be hermetically sealed. I thought of a way of fixing part of the sealing problem, get thick latex house paint and paint (or pour, slosh around and empty) the inside of the box before finishing. You can pick up gallons at HD or Lowes for $5.00, just ask for their "oops" paint. I've painted most of the inside of my house with this stuff by buying light colors by the gallon, and dark colors by the quart, and mixing to taste, my wife's taste of course. But the color doesn't matter for this application.

BTW, if I ever say I am going to use T-Nuts in a speaker ever again, please shoot me.

I will be posting pictures of the unremarkable looking subs and test results in a different thread.

Cool. Looking forward to that thread
