[QUOTE="bladebarrier, post: 5191874, member: 603808"] [URL="http://www.bcae1.com/spboxad1.htm"]http://www.bcae1.com/spboxad1.htm[/URL] If you scroll to the very last graph in the above link, you'll find a visual respresentation of the difference fill makes for a particular example. As you can see, the result is often so slight that only a side by side test could reveal any difference to the human ear, and even then it will generally be slight. For $2 worth of stuffing, it would be silly not to have an improvement, no matter how slight, but don't expect any major changes to be heard after adding the fill. Only a db meter or a well trained ear, listening to very familiar tracks, will prove there's a difference. However, in certain types of enclosures the difference will be much more substantial. It's best to consider these needs when drafting the design for an enclosure, in order to ensure you get what you expect. "Better damping and better transients is achieved by shooting for a lower system Q which can be accomplished by either making the enclosure larger or by adding stuffing/damping material such as polyfill, Dacron, fiberglass, acoustic foam, or any other suitable type of fill material.
