Zenclosure squeaking/creaking against interior

JAYNO20 · 02-01-2013, 09:39 PM

Just recently got one of these Zenclosures, and even if the radio is completely off I can hear it squeaking/creaking coming from the box over bumps. Sounds like it is coming from the sides where it touches the plastic that covers the struts.

This is the first I am hearing of such a problem with these boxes. I could check to make sure it is properly seated. Also see if it's rubbing anywhere. Could be it was not cut just right but doubtful.

try placing some foam weatherstripping on the areas that may be rubbing. should solve your problems.

That's what I was thinking of doing, just hoping someone else had a similar issue so I knew exactly where to put it

It's really not bad, it should be a simple fix. It's not that loud, I am just a perfectionist.

Have not had a chance to take it for a spin yet to check for the squeaking, but this box slams!!! I'm running a dual voice coil 10" Memphis sub pushed by an Orion Cobolt amp.
