So, I just finished two 4 cuft HST18 builds. I mounted the sub and pushed it in a bit to verify that the box is sealed. After being pushed the sub snaps back into place, no slow movement or anything, but I hear a force of air coming out of the unused connections of the 4 pole neutrik, no where else. When I plug in a speakon cable, it's significantly diminished, but I can detect a small amount of air coming out of it still. Is this normal? If not, how should I alleviate the issue?

Remove the connector from the sub cabinet and silicone the back of it. :T

Good idea Wayne! I would try and get some of the "50 year" caulk they use for acoustic treatment sealing as it is supposed to remain pliable for 50 years while not losing its seal due to hardening or shrinking.

:doh: so, I did that for one of the boxes, but not this one...thanks Wayne! Good to go now.

Another good option is plumbers putty. That way it just scrapes off if you have to remove the connector some time in the future

Curious if you got the panel type like this or the ones like this (the latter being airtight in my experience, at least the body of the terminal, I still putty it into the slightly larger hole I make for it).
