Do I need an airhole in my sub box so it doesn't over-heat or anything?

What type of sub do you have? Give us some specifics here...
Typically I would not alter the design of any manufactured part without a thorough understanding of what your trying to do.

It is a Pioneer 400 Watt 12".

Like, I have an airhole in my box now, but should I seal it?
-
The airhole is not for cooling and its dimensions are designed for a certain amout of airflow. My subs are designed to actually allow the user to change the airflow and there are manufacturer guidlines in accomplishing this. Outside of that I would reccomend leaving "well enough alone".

Well, I have to subs and one of them is in a big hefty cardboard box! Lol yes very cheap but it pounds. The other is in a real box. For the cardboard one do I need the hole?
-
can you take some digital pics of your "Cardboard Sub" so some of the real experts on speaker design can chime in?
What kind of sub is made of cardboard? I just can't fathem that...

I too am enjoying it but our new friend seems sincere...:D***WAREMTAE*** -
Shoot I don''t have my camera hear. Ok, try to envision this. There are handles on the sides right? covered one of them, and cut open the other prolly around 2 inches. Is it too big or do I need to cover it up to get more boom?

Ummmmm let me try to find one. It is an older kind of sub. -
This isn't mine, but it kinda looks like this. Letters are green, and imagine it older and used. http://www.strathfield.com/images/SimpleProducts/Medium/TSW306C.jpg

That is just the driver. Where did the cardboard box come from?***WAREMTAE***

Oh my bad. I got it out of my garage. It is like a.....Amsoil?
-
If I knew what Amsoil was I may be able to draw some conclusions...***WAREMTAE***

Plus I ahve a problem with the Pioneer. It makes like a cracking, popping sound instead of bass. I am taking my amplifier back in like 30 minutes and getting a better one. I don't know what could be causing that sound though......

It isn't the sub. It is the sub box.

But here is the thing. I tried my other sub, it did the same thing. -
The other is Rockford something. 12". Doesn't tell me how many watts. A freind gave it to me.
