^ the abosrptive rate of moisture for MDF is minute compared to a stranded material such as wool. Also - the relative surface area of a single pound of a stranded material eclipses the area of any enclosure in any car, promoting moisture collection.
If one was to concern themselves with this it would not be the absorption that would be the problem but that the natural fibre of wool would deteriorate where a synthetic would not.

I think the synthetic product has less chance of shedding stray fibres that will eventualy get into the voicecoil of any vented magnet...I always spray a light coat of spray adhesive over the filling to help hold it together. Don't know for sure if it helps,....just a thought tho.
NEVER use pink insulation, or your subs will start to ITCH

Genuine Nepalese yak's wool is the only choice for the serious music lover. It's all I use for my special projects. By the way, don't throw out the rest of the yak...the steaks are great with a nice merlot.

i feel it has more to do with the alignment of the fibres
i have done extensive triple blind test with multiple subject
and i have found that doing a cross alignment to the driver with the fibres helps to breakup the standing waves and midrange nodules

just fill your boxes full of Kellogs mini wheats and be done with it.
If you ever crahs, you can eat them to stay alive and you WILL have the best sounding bass on the plannet, I swear by the mini wheats.
Wow, It's really late. I should get to bed.

It does nothing to the mini wheats, the structural integrity of the mini wheats is like nothing I've ever seen. The mini wheats weaved design allows a subbox to be filled while only taking up minmal airspace and resonant freq's get trapped in the weave.
I've spent years researching this and it's by far the best and most in-expensive material for this application, however, Frosted Mini Wheats WILL NOT WORK, they take up too much airspace and they actually have a shinny surface to them which reflects bass and resonance. Frosted Mini Wheats work well with soft dome tweeters though as they help to extend the higher frequncy range of the tweeter.
And with that, it's time to go to bed and sober up.
