Yet another subwoofer question.

[Jason Howland]

Hey all, so best I can figure is that the subwooofer is gone in my 2001 EB. I have virtually no bass in any of my speakers. Picked up a new one for it and I'm about to install it. I've heard about getting rid of the "cone" in the back of it and sealing off the screw hole in the back of it. Any other tips? I had also heard about putting some polyfill in the box. Would sound dampening material on the exterior of the box help out?

Polyfil only stops it from bottoming out that's it and it also restrics the air flow

Alright, maybe I'll skip that for now. What about some sort of sound barrier on the back of the outside of the box? I was thinking to stop it rattling against the exterior panel.

Small piece of double side foam tape will cure that.

I used the factory box and haven't ever been happy with it. I may just buy a premade 8" box off amazon and put my sub in the back. I just put a bolt in the hole if I remember correctly.
