i dunno if i'd use house insulation. i dunno for sure but i think that might blow fibers all through your car. not good. yeah it slows down the waves or something and makes it like the box is bigger. i read somethin on it a while ago and sorta understood how it worked but i cant remember it anymore.

i never used it but it is supposed to make your sub think its playing in a larger enclosure. I would only use it in sealed boxes.

You can use it to supplement a box's volume that is "undersized". I always thought it was an increase of no more than 15%, however some believe it can compensate up to a 40% difference. Home audio subs use this technique frequently.

well give it a try in ported and if it's bad let us know. no way to know for sure without puttin it to the test. try n explain why you wouldnt do something instead of just "i wouldnt do that".

I've used carpet padding with great results as damping material. Durable, cheap, and available almost anywhere. Easily secured as well.

o like instead of dynamat or edead? if thats what you're saying (hopefully it is) then i gotta do that cuz my geo rattles like a b!@tch just with this lil 12 i got on 150 watts. it doesnt even hurt my ears at all after 5 hours and this is the first system i've had. but anyway it'll be worse once i get somethin nicer so anyway the original point of this was that i was thinkin that maybe that stuff would work well for damping so thats good to hear. seen as im broke and my dad has 5 huge rolls of it.
