i can't find the charts anymore, but there were a few studies in audio forums about it. the entire concept of insulation in an audio sense is that it coverts movement into low level heat. by doing so, it slows air movement within the space, which is the fundamental part of how insulation makes a small box sound bigger. fiberglass is a better conversion medium, but it's itchy to handle, and not great to breathe. polyfil is supposed to be a synthetic, healthier, and easier to work with medium that performs the same task. but because it doesn't convert the same, it's main advantage is for ported enclosures so you don't have to be breathing fiberglass strands.

the only 2 custom-formed boxes i'm aware of anymore are the jl audio stealthbox, and the oem+ subwoofer--which doesn't come separately from the very expensive package...

Did you install this yourself? My fender fin garnish is fading. Auto body paint shop quoted me $500 to repaint only one side! Where did you order those from?

Re: 86geek - your OEM garnishes? For 500 bucks you are better off ordering TRD Paintmatched Garnishes for about 300-400 landed from importers. If you are C7P (FRS with 86 piston badge) if you pay for shipping I'll ship you mine in mint condition for free. |

OK, but that a long way to come get a beer if you win!
While I know the rumores are swinging back around to it being N/A, I think they are going to stick that FA24 turbo in there and be done with it, I don't see them wanting to redesign that engine to rev higher and under NA, whilst keeping within emissions/future emissions. |

From the reviews, I won't be happy with the OEM+ unit and it's ridiculously expensive. That JL Audio stealthbox is nice, but where do I mount an amp? I'll probably have to find a fiberglass shop and have onw made to spec. Probably cost less using my speaker and buying a better mono amp for it. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk |

Returned from the cottage, gave it an exterior wash and went for an evening drive.
