I've added polyfil/padding to some of my boxes and I never had ill results. Simple to remove if it did. Harmless to try right? |

I USED to believe the possible enclosure benefits were at around 15% at most using fill. That was an "old school" rule of thumb that, along with improved research and materials, has now increased more than double fold. Years ago I would even reduce my volume to accomodate for fill, just to gain its' properties. To me, bottom line, it just sounded better. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 5753 Registered: Jun-04 | it does make the box seem larger to the subwoofer so adjust accordingly |

Silver Member Username: MesodummTri-City, Az Usa Post Number: 164 Registered: Apr-07 | you need to staple it!! for sure! I use it on sealed boxes mostly! I never really put it in vented boxes unless I am space restricted then I will put it in a vented box but stay away from the vents. Memphis techs are the ones who got me doing it. I Always use subs Tech support to figure out airspace and stuffing when I do this. |
