Re: Airtight sockets?
True Nutrik brand speakon jacks are as close to air-tight as you can get.

Re: Airtight sockets?
If I recall correctly, Leland has plugs for 1/4" sockets. Nevertheless, I wouldn't use 1/4". Neutrik speakon all the way for me, as DJPhatman says. Close enough to being airtight. If it's not good enough yet, then make a little box behind it from scrap ply. No need for it to be pretty, so it won't take long.
I once had a bass guitar cab with XLR sockets for speaker connection. Very bad idea. Don't do that.

Thanks guys, I'll swap out the temporary 1/4" for a Neutrik Speakon!
