Take off the panel if will come off easily. A bead of silicone all around and screw it back on. For the stripped screw, use a plug, use a slightly fatter screw or put some cardboard in the hole to make it smaller/tighter.
To repair a Subwoofer
Hello all,
This is my first post. Im definitely a noobie to the audiophile community but I plan on setting my home up with a surround sound audio system in the next month or two. Im looking forward to getting advice and purchasing my equipment and maybe posting some pics.
Anyhow, I was thinking that I have this Earthquake mkv-10 sealed front firing subwoofer in storage that I could use with the setup to initially save some money on a sub. However I think it leaks air out of the back panel when played at loud volumes. The back panel looks like it has come loose at one end and I remember the screw nearest it not doing anything when screwed tighter. Under normal listening conditions i dont notice it.
I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to try to seal it myself with some type of glue (silicon, epoxy...whatever you guys recommend). I have not seriously thought about this before nor have I tried to take off the back panel. Let me know what you guys think.Thanks.
