When i got my jl audio box from someone it had Like cotton all in it.. It sounded good with the Jl audio sub, but i put my alpine x-10 in it and it doesnt sound good. Could all the cotton be messing up the sound because of the major size difference in the sub? The X-10 has a hole on the bottom of the magnet, so if theres like cotton pushed up against it could it be messing with the sound?

what size is the box? the polyfill (cotton) is to make the sub act like it's in a bigger box. could be the box with polyfill is to big for the x.

cotton?? DO u mean polyfill??

and it may not sound good because the box is not built to sub specs

i'd go sealed with the x. alpine recommends .5-1.0 cuft sealed.
