I was watchin unique whips and they put sand in a sub box. What does the sand do? Wouldn't it mess up the sub?
http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=500-018I cut the .25-inch-thick [sonotube] in half lengthwise to form a semicylinder, and trimmed it to the inside height of the box. I positioned it at the rear of the enclosure and stapled it to the back and side walls. I then sealed the cardboard edges using a combination of hot glue and silicone which formed two empty spaces in the corners of the box. After assembling and finishing were completed, I drilled .5" holes in the bottom of the enclosure at the center of the corner spaces. I poured fine white sand (the kind used for gardening) through the holes into the cavities behind the cardboard. [This consequently lowers the resonant frequency of the enclosure when compared to stuffing the empty spaces with a damping material such as fiberglass or poly-fill]. Once these were completely filled, I sealed the holes with dowel plugs. (Incidentally, I made this internal semi-cylinder concept as a prototype several years ago--before the release of the Genesis speaker, which uses the same format, without the sand backfill.)
Yo dawg, I heard you like jokes so I just made another shitty joke about your shitty joke about a shitty joke.Yo dawg, I herd you liek sandstorm so we put sand in your geo storm so you can have a sandstorm while listening to sandstorm in your geo storm...
