I was complaining that my subs were not hitting hard enough and someone mentioned putting polyfill in the box? Would you guys recommend that and if so where do I get some, and how much do I use?

General rule: 1 Pound for each cubic foot. I usually don't put more than half the box. Lining the walls of the box with 1 inch thick polyfill usually works.

I usually notice that polyfill (isothermic sealed)
boxes don't hit harder than non-polyfill (abiatic sealed), but they do sound smoother and play a little lower. The best thing to make subs hit hard, is lots of power!

Nissan Guy hates Dukk for making him look dumb.
Stupid Dukk!
Please explain Exothermic, as I must be educated.
