0.95 Cu Ft Volume Box, Sub is 0.65 "Optimal" Enclosure, Will Polyfill help any?

[falconman515]

I have a single 10" sub that says the "Optimal" Cu. Ft. Volume is 0.65 .... (but I did read this sub will work fine in a range from 0.45 to 1.0).

My box is a custom downfiring enclosure that is 0.95 cu. ft. volume.

I know this sub will sound fine either way but I did read somewhere that some polyfill helps with variances in box sizes like this.

Should I put polyfill in the box or just leave it as is?

Thanks so much for the info. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Adding polyfill makes the sub think the box is bigger, usually manufacturer recommendations for boxes aren't 100% accurate anyway. You'll be fine in .95 cubes

That's what I was curious about ... So no polyfill ... Good to know the box will be fine for my sub, can't wait till they arrive so I can get it all installed.

Thanks so much for the info
