keepinitloud Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 yeah I put it in mine it's supposed to smooth the music wave or something like that so that your bass comes out cleaner if you look into it theres a more technical answer than mine. here's a picture of mine so you have an idea Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Did you hear it before and after polyfill by any chance?

FreelandKustomz Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 ive never heard any stories of polyfill doing anything to a ported box. I thought they were best used in sealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finkster Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 no they can be used in ported enclosures also. It is also used when the size of the enclosure has to be at a minimum, the polyfil kinda "tricks" the subs into thinking that the enclosure is bigger than what it really is. In a ported enclosure you just have to make sure to put some chicken wire near the port to keep the stuff from blowing out Quote DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepinitloud Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 in sealed boxes it's supposed to fool the woofer into thinking the box is bigger by slowing the bass wave from the woofer in ported boxes is does something similar by smoothing it's exit from the port I dont get any port noise or turbulence even on the most forceful lowest notes If you have seen steve meads vidz using the o scope you see the sound wave then if its clips it stops being smooth and gets choppy same difference Quote 06 chrysler 300C Hemi one mmatts dreadnaut 15 powered by a planet audio vx 2200d fosgate p200 running planet audio 8" midbass drivers and super compression tweeters stock battery and a stinger spv44 Irragi 300 amp alternator big 3 1/0 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/55075-system-in-my-300c/page__view__findpost__p__763656__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganberry Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 ptcary used them in his meade inspired wall build, it gives the subs the idea the enclosure is bigger than it really is Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1992Chevy K1500 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Go to a local fabric store and pick some up. It's much cheaper that way. I got a 5 pound bulk box at Hancock Fabrics for about $20.
