All people I know that have this model

Are NOT willing to 'part their's' out

It is ok to fake it, nobody is really going to grade  your

model - unless you are going to put it up for sale

i agree with traverler......i had two,one with a upgraded speaker and the other standard,

i sold the one with the standard speaker as i think the upgraded one i better! personaly i think mine is still worth the same money or maybe more and i would have no trouble selling it

The replica i have is useless, it just violently vibrates after a certain volume position hence the reason why i'm after the original, plus there is a slight air leak which doesn't help.

NEED MORE POSITIVE RESPONSES.... Pleeeeeeeease!!

Ok. Well I should receive it 2morrow so when I get it shall I seal around the edges of the makeshift Passive Radiator?  Anywhere else u can think of? Just so that I seal all the gaps in the speaker cabinet.

Doubtful, you will get any significant bass back

You don't know what bass there was from the beginning

Well lets put it this way, I know what the machine can do when everything is working correctly plus I remember reading somewhere on this very forum that some dude had a problem with lack of bass also air escaping from the speaker cabinet,  he used the silicone sealant and apparently it sounded much tighter and a deeper baseline was produced.
If I find the thread ill post it to you

and in the mean-time I am Modding a box with all NEW different speaker's based upon their specifications and New x-over in the hope's of producing better sound & somewhat higher fidelity from a well-known lower fidelity box
