Considering my previous sub was a Rainbow Hammer 12" at 350w RMS, and the new sub is a IDMax 12 at 1000w RMS, do you think the terminals are a weak point?
no fiberglass or epoxy resin? how does that country survive without it,lol. but yeah, use a heafty helping of silicone...the goal is to also spread the load...joints are a weak point, if there is a gap in the adhesive, the subs will try to push air through that point, possibly causing leaks in the future. the nice thing about fiberglassing the box VS silicone or another sealer, is that the resin helps spread the pressure in the corners to the rest of the resin material, helping to ensure the joints dont allow air passage or get rattled apart.

also, fiberglass resin may not look pretty on the inside of the box, but it adds to the structural density, often helping the box have better over all sound quality, especially if using inferior materials.

either way, the box still looks good :)
