I recently heard about using this stuff in sub enclosures, door panels, and even kick panels. The stuff is very cheap. Does it make a huge different in sound?
sound no not really
Pillows, Teddy Bears, and blankets makes them more soft and cuddly
Ok thanks.. no need in investing then.
They supposedly make the sub box appear bigger. The logic used was that it restricts the speed of the air from moving from the sub to the back of the box, therefore making the box seem larger.I know someone who uses that and ended up cooking a sub at moderate volume, but then he really stuffed that box, and it was big to begin with. I'd probably not even try it, there's a reason nobody tells you that you need to fill the box first. General rule of thumb, if nobody talks about it, it's probably not worth looking at.
i have been doing it for about 8 years now on many different setups and it works well for me others might state different it is just really your choice .... what it does is when the sub recoils into the box it produces a low frequency and when you have polyfill the sound waves bounce and are redistributed in the polyfill breaking up the wave making the box seem like it has more air space but you don't put a lot in it, you take a hand full and sit and pick at it with your fingers and fluff it then put it in. it just depends on the box size and as a rule of thumb i only cover the back of the box but in my experience its makes the bass seem more intense and crisp.

I think I'm just going to try it out and if I don't like it I'll just remove it. I'll just make sure I don't put too much in like you said. I wouldn't want to ruin brand new speakers by getting polyfill in the voice coil. I also noticed that my kick panels came with some polyfill and that is what made me want to ask questions about using it in other places.
