This is a video that, I’ll be honest, I was putting together 99% because people kept requesting it, but it turned out to be a lot of fun, and I learned a lot… I really was quite surprised by the results. And no, I dont recommend just “winging it” on a cast iron repair, this video was simply an experiment…
If you’re interested in learning to weld cast iron, click here:
Here’s a cool story for y’all… When I was in school for welding, one of my teachers told us about his first cast iron repair. It was an old bench with a broken leg… He bought some type of cast iron welding electrodes (I dont remember, exactly), and started welding. The repair held for several years, and THEN broke.
He never know he was supposed to pre-heat, or control heat input at the time.
But, when he repaired his repair, he included a pre-heat and it’s still holding today.

After i got done siliconing and painting my box, I figured I’ll make a ‘How to’ video on sealing the gap between the subwoofer and the box. My total cost out of pocket to just seal the gap was less $15 after tax. But prices may vary depending on the hardware store that’s nearest to you.
There was a couple of things I forgot to mention in the video. When you you apply the weather stripping, make sure the surface area is clean and free of any dust. Second, and most important, once you have the mounting hole of the sub lined up with mounting holes, DON’T put a lot of presseure when tightening the screws. Put to much pressure and you’ll push the t-nut out of it’s place. Happened to me twice, hahaha!
So, yeah, just put enough pressure to let the screw tighten. Then once it’s tight, you can torque down the screw tight enough so it won’t come loose.
Thanks for watching my vid, and please rate.
