Hey guys,

Lately my sub has been sounding quite bad compared to how it is normally, upon inspection it appears the cotton the box was lined with has been bashed out and blown out the port and the MDF is now just vibrating against itself...

Just wondering what the best thing to line the box with as obviously whatever the manufactorer used failed badly! :)

I would use dynamat but I simply can't afford it, need a cheap solution.

Thanks,
Dean

duck tape lol

im finding it hard to understand whats actually happened
you've got foam inside your sub box and now its gone? so got to spot light and buy some more
or just take it out

I had foam inside the box that deadens the bass inside the box to stop a horrible mdf echo noise... That foam was blown to bits and then out the port... Now it sounds horrible! :( Just wondering if theres some tougher shit to line the box with!?

id unscrew the sub, and have a look at jay car theyd have somthing usefull

I used cotton Wadding you can get from Spotlight or local dress maker.. Its in a sorta sheet and you just stick it into place with some double sided tape...

Becareful using Glue.... It can eat the rubber surround off the sub from the fumes...

I used Dacron out of a cheapie pillow i got from some bedding store. It handled a 16inch sub no worries

Dacron or an old insulation bat will work.

paint it with brushable tar think its around $20 for a 1litre tin from bunnings just jeave the sub box outa tha car for a couple of days cos of the smell seems to work wonders on mine and my brothers. otherwise like said just go down to spot light and buy the same stuff

My concern is that the role of Polyfill is to trick the woofer into thinking it is a bigger box, nothing else. It does not supress rattles or keep the box warm / cool.

You do not need fill to have a great sounding box. You should really crack it open and find out what is vibrating ( given it a gentle whack ) and glue / silicone / nail / screw it down.

Charisma shhhh......

Common sense just isnt whats needed around here.
