Does the tumult driver itself leak air in a sealed box?
I noticed that my tumult enclosures do not seem as sealed as other sealed setups I have done in the past. . .By this, I mean I can push the driver cone in by hand about an inch, and all of the air I have displaced is leaving the box somewhere. When I let go, the cone slowly moves back to resting position; not as much "springyness" as I would think there should be from past experience.
The box is 2 layers of 3/4" MDF (2.5 ft^3 internal), and all joints are interlocked. The inside seems are sealed, then I coated all outside seems with liquidnails and went back and belt sanded them flat just in case there were any gaps. I cannot hear any air leaks, but there is definitely air leaking out somewhere. . .The driver is screwed in tight and I am using the rubber gasket. when I push the cone in, I cannot hear air coming from around the driver flange.
Do this even matter? I have always tried to make sure sealed enclosures are VERY sealed.
Thanks!
