Is it possible to put stuff in a sub enclosure to reduce its volume?
February 12, 2010 - 10:19 pm
I calculated the volume of my box, and got a number thats over what my subs prefer for a non ported box. In the conquest for better sound, are there any reasonable solutions to reducing the internal volume by adding say…Packing peanuts or kittens?
Volume as in internal space, like leiters, not volume as in db. Just to clarify.
Unless the enclosure is vastly larger than specification, the sound quality may actually be improved as well as an increase in spl. Try acoustic dampening mats, dynamat or even pieces of MDF acting as additional bracing. These will reduce enclosure resonance and "clear" up the noise. Also, the volume your driver displaces must be subracted from the enclosure volume. Hope this helps.

stuffing an enclosure INCREASES the volume try spraying foam inside (take the subs out first) you can get cans of foam that spray and wont damage anything it will also help stop your enclosure from rattling!
GOOD LUCK!
