fixing box help
i have a 1.1 sq ft sealed box with a 12 inch alpine type R in it. i bought this box offline and it has worked perfectly. recently there has been a lot of rattling coming from it, but when i press on the box the rattling stops. seems like the box is coming apart.
so, do i take apart the whole box, and put it back together using liquid nails, do i put screws in it to help it hold together, do I just cover all the seals with liquid nails? or any cominations? thanks for the help

Lining the box with resin would be a great idea, but any silicone based caulking will work fine too. Just don't use "bathroom" type caulking. It doesn't stick to plywood very well.
However, your best bet would be to get a new box. The Type R is supposed to be in .78 sq' box. At .78 will tune it to about 50 hz. 1.1 is way up around 90 hz. May be kind of boomy.
Just my .02.
