enclosure help

hello,

im a nebie at all this car audio and electronics stuff...

i built an enclosure for my two subs (2 12" Advents...i know they suck), and the volume is around 2.5 cubic feet (the best volume for one is around 1.25 cubic feet according to paper that came with them) anyways my question is, if i put fiberglass or all that other stuff you guys have mentioned here in the box (its a sealed box) to fill it up what would that do to the sound, and wouldnt it f**k up the magnets on the woofers? i mean if the magnets were embedded in fibergalss or the pink fluffy stuff wouldnt that damage them???

thank you

ohh ok...but wont the pillow stuffing be in the way if you fill the enclosure to 70%??? and wouldnt it be bad if its like in contact with the woofer on the back?? (i think i read somewhere that they become veryhot in sealed boxes..am i wrong?) and if they do become hot, cant the pillow stuffing catch on fire?

thanks

I have not ever had that problem with any of my systems, don't know if anyone else has.

Not unless you dip that fill in flamable liquids you should not have that problem.

ok thanks.....so what is best to "stuff" the box with? pillow stuffing or anything else???

ohh and also, i built the box and i sealed all the joints with silicone...but i still dont think its air tight, and there is this guy that can fiberglass the box for me for free...should i let him fiberglass it?? (by fiberglassing i mean the outside not theinside, so it gets an airtight and smooth finish)

yeah im gonna paint the box...

No problem.

Anytime
