I have a pair of the infinity perfect 10.1's and just received a pair of the q-logic boxes for them from Crutchfield (the boxes I received do not come with the qxe ring that the better ones do).

The sub has a smaller Dia. then most subs of the same size so I am running right up at the screw hole on the subs to the opening on the box. The gasket they give you with the perfect is the crapest gasket I have ever seen!!! like 1/8" wide maybe.

The subs dia is 9" and the box is 9.25" being this is the smallest Q-Logic opening on there boxes for sealed 10".

Does any one know where I can get a good wide gasket so I can seal off around the sub or can the qxe ring be bought seperate that will help seal my sub off without having to build a SMALLER TOPPLATE FOR MOUNTING THE SUB TO.

Thanks Donny

    Sounds like a good question to ask the folks at Crutchfield.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    I'm sure if you walked around home depot long enough you'll find something you can make a gasket out of.

    I do not think a gasket will help you if the screw holes are already hitting the edge of the box. Sounds like you will either need to make a new baffle for them on the boxes you already have, or get some new boxes with smaller mounting holes.

    I actually wouldve suggest sending them back and running down to your local shop and seeing what they had in the way of pre-made boxes. I bet they couldve fixed you up and probably cheaper.

    But you got it worked out.

    Wow! Thats pretty steep!

    Most of the premade boxes down at my local shops run from $25-100.

    I still say the best way is to build it yourself if you can. Much cheaper!! ;)

    I bought my last 3/4" mdf box for $40 dollars. The one before that was $35 dollars, 3/4" mdf as well. These were from local dealers.
