    So I bought a 15" TC-2000 about a year and a half ago and built a very nice 5 cubic foot, sealed enclosure for it with a 1300w plate amp from elemental designs. I enjoyed my set up thoroughly (although a slightly larger ported box always was in the back of my head) and never had any problems...

    Component cable broken and jammed in my TV!

    So my tv has two component inputs, I was using one for my ps3 and one for my cable box.

    How do I flush mount a plate amp into my subwoofer box?

    I have never done it before and do not want to do it the wrong way. Do I just cut a hole into the box to the specs of it? do I need to caulk it up then to prevent air leaks or is it already pretty air tight? just confused. thanks tyler cookson
