Adam not really, its mostly meant for sealed boxes. Sealed boxes tend to be peaky and produce too much higher bass notes (80/90Hz) which sounds bad through subs. The wadding just cuts some of this down, it doesnt make the lows any lower. For that you need a bigger box or tune you port better... | |

so if i put wadding in a ported box it would make it play longer deeper notes? | |

so the wadding creates air resistance then?? | |

Its used to slow down the air movement inside, like filters. Slowing it down makes it play like in a larger box. The air in a larger box takes more time to move around as its a larger area, the air inside smaller boxes moves very quickly alowing subs to produce the quick 'kick' that small sealed enclosures do...:thumbs: | |

When the fibres vibrate in the box the air pressure inside the box increases making the sub perform like its in a bigger box. | |

You dont have to, its just to make the enclosure seem bigger to the sub. | |

Some people sound deaden the corners inside the box obviously to prevent any rattle and to also help seal the box. Kris TD sealed his with fibreglass. | |
