anyone use polyfil??
 
i was told i may need to add some in my sealed enclosure, my question is where do i get it and what is the name brand? is it expensive? thanks for any help i've always used ported boxes in the past

how are you useing it ?
i can think of some thing that would be better
but i need to see what your use is

You can find polyfil at a linen store - just ask for the stuff used to make pillows -- start with a handfull or two per chamber and only add if necessary -- do not use too much

apparently the box is a little small and i was told to add polyfil to make the box seem bigger to the woofers. So i can buy it at walmart? is it expensive? i was told to use 2-2.5 pounds per chamber. its a 5 cf box with dual chambers.each chamber is 2.5cf.is it sold in pounds?

2 pounds is a butt ton of polyfill like 2 or 3 sq feet.... I think someone is full of polyfill

yea it should be available for a buck or two a bag at a sewing store (like he said for pillows and the like) or you can gut an old pillow.

yes but you will have to put mesh on the end of the port so that it doesn't blow out.. although that would be quiet the sight..

yeah, walmart sells it. 12 oz bag for like 3$. so your not supposed to use lots? heh, i used it all. yeah my box is too small also...

you can buy it @ walmart in the fabric department. you can either by it off a roll or you can get it in a package...they know it as "batting"

do i just stuff it in, then put my sub in or do you have to have some type of adhesive. sorry if questions sound noobish i just always used ported boxes.
