Cut down a piece of "beer seal" for a good speaker seal.....

Quoted from taylor34:

I tried changing the backbox speakers, I gained basically nothing on AC/DC. These weren't el cheapo's either, nice quality polks. I tried Iron Man as well, no difference. I'm not sure if there's really anything to gain by replacing the backbox speakers on new Sterns.

That's amazing becasue there was a HUGE difference on my AC/DC.

I am only using upgraded speakers ( no added amp) and the highs & mid-range are night and day different and the sub with a crossover filter moves enough air that the glass needed taped for rattle.

Sealing the space between the speaker panel and speaker dramatically increases the sound pressure output.
Without any sealing material it does not sound very impressive and you are loosing a LOT of sound inside the head box / cabinet.
