You have a bandpass box. The only thing you can do to make it better is to destroy it and build another box, sealed or ported.

It won't hurt as long as it stays away from the port.

It would sound horrible, worse then it does now. The bandpass box is specifically desinged. If you removed the plexi it would make it a ported box, ported boxes require alot more airspace then it has.

You'll want to ckeck the comp vr specs to make sure the ported box is tuned right for your subs, or you'll subs will still sound like crap.  The purpose of polyfill is to trick the sub into thinking it's in a larger box than it is.  50% polyfill = 20% increase in airspace the subs "sees".  It's meant to give a little lower frequency response in sealed boxes.  Bandpass and ported boxes are built to a very specific tuned frequency, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but polyfill in one of the boxes won't really help at all.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
