I have great, deep, clear bass. I set this stuff up in my custom sub box since I was almost on the minimum enclosed space per sub. This stuff works great in tight boxes.
Well i went back and forth on boxes to work with my subs, could not find a box that yould work so i went with the best i could find. Still to small but with some on the fill it is amazing how responsive my subs are and how clean they sound.
Finding it on A'.com, I bought 2 packs (I'll run both of the Dayton's), and just finished filling the problem sub with one pack, reattached the amplifier panel with the larger screws, using one of the high-grade cables between the amp and the sub. I promptly purchased the screws at the local hardware store and got the cables online. I played the same CD with the cps cutoff UNCHANGED and the volume just above 1/2 (NOT wanting to repeat the problem) AND.the polyfill ELIMINATED the spurious enclosure resonances, and gave me TIGHT bass response down to the Dayton's 25 cps limit. I played the Tom Hazelton CD "The Pipes Of The Mighty Wurlitzer" at the San Sylmar Wurlitzer--which boasts true 16 cycle bass pipes, and with the sub cps cutoff at about 110 and the volume up to 2/3rds, the first selection "Mountain Greenery" blew the amplifier panel RIGHT OFF the back of the subwoofer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--6 Stars out of 5. And here's where ACOUSTA-STUF POLYFILL came to the rescue.
The moral of this story is that IF you're experiencing mushy or distorted bass response, give ACOUSTA-STUF a try (if your enclosure's a hollow cavern inside) and you'll find it's definitely worth the $10.00 a bag to get what you want out of your WHOMPER--OR--any other speaker you want an improved low end cps response from. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Mighty Wurlitzer fan, and having just received my two Dayton 300-632 10" 100 watt ported subwoofers wanted to see what just one would do. The dealers I called suggested and the online research I did recommended that I 1] replace the amp panel using larger screws (there were 10 in all) and 2] put some damping filler inside the enclosure, as well as buy some Monster Cable quality cables for the low level amp sub output to the subwoofer. Still with me.
