Will covering the vents fix the sound leak problem, or at least reduce it by a significant amount?

It will fix most of the sound leak but that's only when played rather loud and the vents being covered will dramatically reduce the bass and shrink the sound stage. I know because I tried this in public places and at home to see what it would do.

i'm not entirely sure about this, but i'm pretty positive that the vents are intended to improve the bass in your music and to prevent a harmful vacuum between the case and the diaphragm of the speaker any sound leak might simply be a problem with the seal around your ears, or a case of your music being really loud. i could be totally wrong about the vents though. i'm not an engineer really, i just like good quality music :)

If this is a system with internal fans throughout the piping the foam may reduce a small amount of noise probably not worth it for your application. We had an enclosure in a studio that had a venting system and we lined the inside of the enclosure with the foam as well and you could barely hear the cooking fans, computers, and other rack gear that may have created a low end hum. I don't know if that answers your question or not hope it helps.

Help. Yes, but shut out the sound ... Probably better than wax, but they reduce noise , not eliminate it.

It will help. You'd need some serious insulation to block all noise. I'd call this a noise reducer.. You would need a LOT of this to block all noise, not to mention it would have to cover every wall.

No. It's permeable it will not seal the leak. Go to your local auto store they have many different options to fix exhaust leaks most for cheap.

It's possible but you won't be able to use the air vent. It does cancel the noise very well though

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Yes, it does effect the sound and probably needs a fix. I am going to drill the hole.

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

Air flow could be a problem. I think a roof vent would be a better choice and last longer. The plastic in these vents deteriorate over time by oxidation.

I'm not so sure about containing sound. It breaks up a room well, but I don't think it would be what you might consider an incredible sound barrier.

Yes air should move enough and is quiet running. I would ensure vent in/out hole was there.

I'm not sure but there isn't supposed to be a lot of water on the inside. If water continually seems to be on the speakers one of them might be leaking. If not then you shouldn't have any problems with it hope this helped!

I think this material is used more as a bass trap and diffuser than sound proofing. It probably doesn't work any better than regular insulation for that job. There are sound blocking materials out there that work very well.

First I would replace the door with a solid core door. This will get the noise down quite a bit by itself, and if you need more attenuation, you now will have something solid to screw this vinyl to, since it is quite heavy.

That is not too different from my application, so it should help. It will stop resonance and provide some sound absorption.

Closing the port will not solve the problem. The box dimensions are different and a sealed closure should be between 1.2-1.5 cu ft. Also I doubt you will have a proper seal on the box. Any air escape will change the sound. I've been very impressed with the set up but that's MHO.
