I have a kenwood kfc-300512 sub in a boought'n sealed box. is it possible to port that box....and would lining it with an insulator help with this weak sub response as well as with the boom.......

it is always in my opinion a good idea to insulate your box ,this helps with the boominess(standing waves)a generally raises the Q slightly helping to tighten up the bass. you can port almost any box given the right parameters and speakers but it is more to it than just cutting a hole in it.if tuned incorrectly it can lead to weak bass or increase boominess,personally i prefer a closed box myself.

Does the manufacturer recommend a ported enclosure for this sub?  Do you have a manual with it?

As for acoustical stuffing, it works well in a sealed enclosure to deepen the bass, loosely filled.  No more than 1/2 lb per cu ft.   But a ported enclosure is (usually) a larger box than a sealed, and doesn't benefit by using it.

Find all the info you can on the woofer.  if you want to find a good calculator to help you build a new box, we can help with that.
