Sub-woofer box help sealed vs ported

After looking at it today I guess it doesnt realy matter how it will affect the subs mounting because they will be on the bottom in a spot that doesnt need to be covered. But while Im thinking about it is there anything I can use to better the seal between the subs and the uncovered MDF?

Silicone is what i use on my boxes and it gives a GREAT airtight seal. Only problem is, if you ever decide to take the subs out of the box, they are a little harder to get out.( IE: you might have to pry them lightly out) But besides that, put a nice bead of silicone sealant around the mounting surface, you will be pleased.
