The glue's voltage rating is 400 volts per mil. That is, every
one-thousandth of an inch of glue can "stand off" 400 volts. The
thicker the glue, the greater the voltage which can be withstood.

Suppose the thickness of the glue is one inch and it's under 400 volts
during 8 hours a day.

How long would it take before the glue becomes fully conductive ?

Skybuck.

Skybuck, tnere is an easier answer.

If you remove the subwoofer speaker from the cabinet, then build
an identical (tuned port or whatever) wooden cabinet, and move
the subwoofer over to that, the remaining amplifier components
will no longer be in a noisy, vibration prone environment.
As a result, you will no longer need to pour glue all over
the amplifier components.

Not silicone! (AKA RTV)

The stuff exudes/outgasses acetic acid as it dries, which corrodes
metals. The corrosion "grows" and puts resistive paths between
reasonably close adjacent conductors. CBers though it was hot shit for
weatherproofing coax connectors exposed to the elements when it first
became commercially available. 6 months or so later, they'd start
getting lousy SWR problems. Upon opening the connections, they'd find
white crap all over the interior of the connector bodies.

There is a special version of silicone sealant/gasket replacement sold
in automotive parts places (Permatex is one brand) that does work, it's
orange and says "safe for oxygen sensors".

The versions that produced acetic acid went off market over 20 years
ago in favor of thixotropic varieties. I remember thinking much like
the CBers 40 years ago as a teen. Come up the years.

Shit, you must have inhaled loads of it then.
