so my box ate a small plastic bag...

long story short, we put all the stuff we bought from the mall in my trunk. my friend took out the stuff she bought from this small plastic bag and left the bag in my trunk...assuming near the port. we got back on campus and everyone took the stuff they bought and put them into their own cars....but the damn plastic bag is gone.

i'm pretty sure it got sucked into the port (i had the music kinda loud). question is, will it blow back out? i don't want to take the sub out since it's recessed into the front baffle, and plus it's decently heavy. i'm paranoid that it'll screw the sub up somehow.

maybe i should stop being lazy and take the sub out...

mechanical fingers Or if you have a decent size port. Reach up in there.

edit: btw, if you would feed your subs when you were supposed to, you wouldn't have this problem.

you'ed think a plastic bag in your sub box would make a lot of noise. maybe someone took it or it disappeared when you got back to campus..

doubt it. i am sure the bag was in the trunk. the trunk remained closed until we got back on campus and only was opened to let my friends get their stuff out. i asked them if they took it afterwards and they said they didn't.

real cars dont need subs




might want to make a screen or something when you are in there
Probably just use some gutter blocker crap that people use for grills, it shouldn't effect the air flow.

a little follow up. finally got the bag out while playing a frequency sweep. i bent a metal coat hanger into a hook and caught it when i saw it flapping at the 90* bend in the port.

no way the sub could be damaged from the coat hanger, it was only in the port
