Effects of Stuffing A Ported Subwoofer Box

Hi! Hows your bass van going?
I recently filled my 3.4 cuft ported box with 4 8s and man what a difference it made on the low end it will drop to 25 to 22hz and flutter. Before it would drop off @ 34 hz and just cause port chuffing. I highly recommend stuffing ported subwoofer boxes. I will say it took away from how loud the highs get but man is the trade off worth it!
great work and computers don't lie!!! I like your approach and the explanation is very clear. Thank you!

Yeah I've used non-itch fibreglass in a ported box, actually does quite well, and there doesn't seem to be too much dust/debris floating around, so maybe results vary brand to brand. I used non-itch stuff if that effects results. Still itches the throat.

yeah I felt it in the throat, had to wrap my hoodie around my face like a taliban. Didn't want to get the other one cos it seemed a bit too thick, originally I'd gone to get another one but came back with this.
I have been thinking about carpeting the inside of my box,although all the math says there's no chance of wave cancellation unless its a huge box

Im doing a masters in acoustics on the effect of filling enclosures with multiple different pourus materials, loft insulation being one. and modeling the effects mathmaticaly on different types of enclosure based on their order. So far my results measured in a fully anechoic chamber arn't far off yours, the differences seem to also follow the same trend as my much more controled environment. you might want to try activated charcoal as that so far has the greatest effect on the frequency bands and is remarkably good at flattening frequency response.

All my cars has always been sealed boxes. I listen to heavy metal with very fast kick drums. I built a ported box tuned to 32HZ and it’s much louder but the fast kick drums sound too boomy. Kinda sloppy sound. So I was wondering if the poly mat would take out the boomy sound. Give it more of a tight sound

Mine was tuned to 28hz and I've had 2 15's in a 34hz box in the past, both sounded great with metal/rock but results can vary from system to system. If you primarily listen to metal maybe stick to a sealed box, but if you want to tune it go for 35-40hz.

I have the z5500 system but for some reason the bass isn't as deep and just can't feel it as much as my z906. Would the polyfill help?
Just did this with my krk 10s, there allready was some in it but it looked like it needed more. Once i filled up some space and turned it on i noticed the low frequencie’s were less and the more bumpy bass i got ( must say i could feel the bass a little more after i stuffed polyfill in it and saw that the woofer was moving much more. ) I decided to get the fill back out cause i was missing my lower frequencies👍

I use a LG sl6y sound bar with the sub worth of 220 watts . I really want to ask if this stuffing would work for me . Though it sounds amazing but lack some deep Tone bass which I always noticed from my dude Samsung sound bar worth of 130watt Question is can I stuff it ? And how should it goes Too bad I can’t attach a picture here would have shown you how the sub looks maybe you can figure that out and let me know what you think guys please very important

i use poly-fil for my enclosed box cuz my car doesn;t have enough space for aported cuz i like the deeper bass a ported proudces vs punchier bass from an enclosed and it is a very noticable difference when i put poly-fil in the enclosed much deeper and boomier bass while keeping the initial punch which is perfect

glue would help keep the filling in place more or less. I don't recommend fibre glass in a ported enclosure, but some sort of equivalent lung friendly insulation would work just as well.

What's that "reference volume"?
@MyStonerMind420
6 жыл бұрын
Reference Level is a standard, known, predictable and reproducible playback volume level. When movie sound tracks are crafted, they are done so on systems which are locked at this level. The sound artist does not play around with a big volume knob when doing his/her work. If the sound artist wants something to be loud, they make that sound loud within the sound track. When they want something to be soft, they make that element soft within the sound track. Movie theaters set their playback level by the exact same rules, so when the movie is shown, you hear EXACTLY what the sound artist heard when they were making the piece. Loud, soft, in-between, it's all there, and no one touches the master volume knob over the course of a two-hour movie. To achieve THX certification, components must play at this reference level without breaking, distorting, buzzing, rattling or any other distracting effects.

Do a face reveal!!!:):) love your vids:)
So go with a higher tuned box and use this stuff to lower the tuning back to what you had before. Makes more sense when you are very space limited and you are trying to lower tuning to where you want it within reason. Problem is your box is already tuned correctly. That mid 20s peak is exactly what you would want from a powerful 18in subwoofer. Losing that volume between 25-40hz would be undesirable in my opinion. Unless you really want to improve those 17 hz tones you can barely hear. Made me realize I should probably not do this to the box I'm making for my 15s. They aren't high end woofers with a lot of throw and the box is already tuned to 34hz. I'm going to add a 50hz 12db subsonic filter anyways to lower the power pushed through the subwoofers at those low frequencies because below port tuning you lose cone control. Adding fill would be counter intuitive for what I'm doing. I can see it dampening mechanical noise a bit though but I'll have to test my system first before hand. I bet there will be 5 other things vibrating in the car to worry about before dealing with the mechanical noise.
