Silver Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 201 Registered: Feb-10 | this was a question i was going to ask you glasswolf. I have read basically every single one of your papers and i love the knowledge you give. i myself am in the process of building a box for an 18" Fi Q the Q will have the cooling, p chamfer, and spider options and will be ran in a ported box. i started the box last weekend and will finish it this saturday, im looking at around 5.75 cu ft after sub and port displacement tuned to approx 33-34 hz not quite at Fi's recommendations but thats gonna have to work for me, i cant go any bigger on the box. now since i am below the lowest recommendation i plan on using polyfill to try to trick the sub in being in a larger enclosure. I'm wondering is it ok to fill the entire box with polyfill? i mean like every inch of the box except for the port, will that give me the best results or should i not do so much? also when sealing the box is caulk better or liquid nails? my friend says liquid nails works better for him and he has built some very nice boxes so i believe him with liquid nails being better. everything is done on the box except for using a sealant, so i left the top piece off to do that and throw in polyfill. i dont plan on pushing more than 1500 if that to the sub also, i also have 15 sq in of port area per cu ft if that helps |

Use whatever works for you. i use clear silicone caulk because it stays flexible, so it doesn't harden and crack, leading to air leaks. Some people prefer to use liquid nails, but I glue the box together when I build it, so the caulk is just to seal and small air leaks the adhesive may not have closed up. |

Silver Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 215 Registered: Feb-10 | i bought an adhesive, sprayed the box where i wanted to put the fill, and sprayed the side of the polyfill that would be sticking to the box and put it in like that. |
