Anyone use box stuffings?

Anyone line the inside of their box with polyfill(pillow stuffing) or stuff the box as full as it can hold without blocking the ports? I want to do this with my new box but I'm questioning the benefits from it.

packing peanuts are not pous enough. Polyfill works good and is cheap next best step is fiberglass insulation... but will make you itch like crazy... the best I have used to date is loose lamb's wool by far the best properties and charteristics... draw backs hard to find sometimes and EXPENSIVE

Do you guys think it really makes it sound better?

It can, and in my experience, it usually does "clean up" the sound a tad.

No definite answer, just try it and see what happens.

Use a ratio of .75-1lb of polyfill per cubic foot of volume.

whats the best poly fill to get? brand/type?

The only thing that google showed for loose lamb's wool was 1 oz bags that sell for $5 each + shipping.

1 lb = 16 oz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif $160 to fill a 2 cu box //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I use it.seems to make the bass alittle tighter for me.walmart has plenty of it.

Just go buy the cheapest pillow at walmart and cut them open, the stuff inside is made out of the same material as polyfill.
