spray adhesive to it and to the box walls. you want it to be loose but not flopping around in the box.

so i cant just a layer it . can it tuch the subs??

I mean it won't hurt touching the sub but I wouldn't let it block the back of the pole vent or get near the basket vents at the coil cus some MIGHT get caught in there and seize up the sub. Use a good adhesive to prevent it from coming off the walls. What I meant by loosely is don't install it compressed together because then it would actually do the opposite of what you want. Not sure if I explained that very well.

You don't want it to touch the subs because it can insulate them and possibly make them overheat. It can even interfere with the suspension or get tangled in the tinsels. Its best to keep it off the subs.

You can layer it, but spray a little adhesive between layers and stick it in a way where you're not compressing the polyfill too much. You want it to be light and fluffy, but anchored so it doesn't flap around or fly out the ports. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

lol. You explained better though.

OP, I'd adhere it to the walls. Stuff floating and moving around isn't good.

funny thing some people say dont glue it keep it off the sub. i will have some floating around i think. 2 bags might not fill up each chamber.idk i will get it done

Never heard of anyone saying to keep it just floating around. I don't think that it would work the same. You're probably going to use low end from doing that just like compressing it in the box. Compressing it in the box may make the response a bit smoother.

how do u keep all the fill glued down?? u glue the wood then put the fill then more glue the fill?

 

[slim2fattycake 10+ year member]

just like one side of the fill needs gluing. the rest of it will hold it together. Loosen up the polyfill but don't tear it completely apart.

just glue everywhere around the sub then?

wich glue should i get? keep in mind im gona take out only one sub so anything that needs to b sprayed wont work. long story the top baffle gave me a issue to screw the top 2 subs down.
