wouldnt the insilation ruin the drivers with the fiber glass filaments?

i took the fiberglass out like 10 minutes after i started playing. my mom had some pollyfill so i got it.

No, the fibers are too small and fragile to damage the VC.

If you want to remove any/all resale value from your sub, sure ...
Weatherstripping is a much easier and cleaner solution to preventing air leaks around the driver ... Very cheap, as well ($2 for like 50 feet) ...

Do I have to put the weatherstripping around the edge? I left the carpet on the edge of the box so the sub will lay on it. Will that be enough?

The blue Pioneers **** ... that's probably why ...

I dunno about fiberglass, but I know sawdust will chew up a subwoofer's motor if you leave it in an enclosure. I would just use polyfill to be safe. Its not like its expensive or hard to find.

hey.. I THINK I KNOW WHY: lil jon - bia bia does not get LOW in my car either. i have an idMAX powered by a modded MTX 1501d. my crossover points are set at EXACTLY 62 hz by my audiocontrol EQ. i think its because BIA BIA does not get low... every other song that is suppose to get low and loud gets LOW and LOUD in my car. however, when i put BIA BIA in it doesnt hit as low as i thought.. and i guess its because the song doesnt go as low as i thought it did.. it does have bass but it seems the bass it has is higher than sub-bass frequencies or something. anyway, i noticed this a while bacc and have concluded thta the only reason people say BIA BIA hums in their car is because they probably have their LPF set pretty high?

play Pitbulls Cuban Rideout. My 10s hit the lows very nicely on that track. Thats off The Kings Of Crunk cd by the way. Track 16 I believe.

He has 10" subs. This means that they arent going to sound that low, especially in that small box, thats sealed...
Get a ported box that's large and tuned low (like 30 htz for 10"). YOu have a Volfenhag amp that probably isn't putting out the power you need.

That's the problem you will have with smaller drivers. Me on the other hand with my 15"... I get too much low bass.

Yea... What stones said.

I have 2 10"s in a .75^3 per chamber box and mine get plently low. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Yup. 2 rl-i's.

They're getting a new home though.
