Stuffing Party!


I found that around .75 lbs of poly-fil/1 cu. ft of air sufficed nicely. As I've said, my box has been extensively measured to have as close to 3 cu. ft of air as possible but, in reality, is a tiny bit small. When boxes are too small the sound waves from the driver will hit the walls and bounce too quickly. This causes reverberation, rattles, and ultimately ugly sounding bass. This can be fought through stuffing - the goal here is to slow down the sound waves through the box and trick it into thinking it's bigger than it is.



One completed, painted, and stuffed box.



I have used 1/8" x 3/8" closed cell rubber gasket around the side and underneath the cone and basket. This is absolutely necessary to forming an air tight seal on the box. This is also where the painting comes in handy - by applying it you are filling any tiny surface abrasions that act as holes in your seal.



The driver screwed in and sealed to the shell - when screwing into the rubber gasket tape, it's not uncommon to have to circle back and tighten screws as the rubber expands in certain areas, the drilling/screwing/leveling process should be handled with extreme precision - I spent all afternoon doing this... Notice the Ryhtmik DS-15 has a rubber O-ring around the base of the basket - these types of rings are generally used in car applications. I decided to keep this one on for cosmetic reasons - it helped cover up the shell/tile joint.



The woofer with the driver and amp screwed into place on the shell (not the tiles) with v1.0 feet. It was shortly after this photo was taken that I realized I needed more structurally-sufficient feet.

Would using the seal that comes with the driver be sufficent enough to keep it air tight?

i mean the seal that is backed with sticky tape :D

The seal that came with the Rythmik driver was about 1/4 the thickness of the gasket I used. In my opinion, i would NOT use it. It may work, yes, but the thick gasket tape I purchased is a very cheap effective way to ensure a tight seal, I bought 25 feet of it for $10.00...
