    Anyone using this polly damping material?

    Apparently, it is designed to fill the cab and it is supposed to extend the low frequency tuning of any giving box.

    I used this stuff for some large subs.
    It is very clean and non-toxic and I thought there was a randomness to the fibers.
    I have two large garbage bags loaded with this stuff.
    Free to anyone....probably 150 bucks worth...I have no use for it
    with the system I own now.

    Great for stuffing TLs and sealed cabs, but typical vented cabs should use just sheet insulation as Altec did.

    I have used air conditioning fiberglass "duct board" in the past. Very safe, ridged and easy to cut. It works well in vented boxes. I believe its about 1 inch thick and comes
    in 4' by 8' sheets.

    This was Altec's preferred insulation, hence mine too. Their outside custom vendors OTOH used all manner of insulation from Celotex to R-19 backless wall insulation apparently to keep costs down.

    GM

    What do you recommend for vented boxes ? Polly Fill , the 1" A/C board, or some other material ?
