[QUOTE="Norval, post: 4944, member: 62"] @ Shaun Yes I have also read that the pillow stuff doesn't work as good, yet most commersial even high end boxes use it. I do think though that it all depends on the aplication. In well desinged reflex I would guess the pillow stuff should be prefable. In sealed boxes, something like acousta stuff or fibre class or even that carpet undervelt used years back by AR. Oh yes, I've also seen the AR's using Fibre class with the tissue stuff over it, but its still a b*tch if you need towork on the x-over. The pillow stuff worked quite well in the LF hornspeakers I've buid. But then again, in theory no stuffing should be needed in horns, just like in reflex boxes. For interest sake, Andre from Maestro told me he played around with some stuff in his TL project and he prefers wool. Then again, every TL design is different when it comes to filling. I haven't tried the Acousta stuff yet, but my concern is that it could damp the box too much? Which in a Sealed box shouldn't be a problem. ??? :-\ :) Just some thoughts..... [/QUOTE]
