Default I am so happy!!!!!

My JL Audio 15W5 wasn't blown. I took the system apart to make it a 2 woofer system in a sealed box and when I took the top woofer off, I found the dustcap was half off the cone and it was the source of the "blown sound".

So I ripped the dust cap off completely. It is not needed I hope since I'm running them in a camshell design. I cranked her up and :D , no more rattles :thumbs: I even took pics I was so happy.





back together without the dustcap

Those ports do look rather small, don't they...3" at the most from the pic...

Maybe he can't hear them since the rest of his system is so loud. :D

This is my winter vehicle, a 4X4 S-15 GMC Jimmy.

Yes the ports are small but this box was done back in 1991 :crazy: and was done to JL specs. Isobarik subs was the thing to do back then. It was orignally in my red Eagle Talon TsiAWD. I've never noticed port noise. I know this, you can blow dry your hair with those ports :jester

For awhile I had these four subs in my home set up. I had used 6" diameter PVC ports on those in 6 cubes each :eek:
