Polyfill is basically fiberglass, like the pink insulation stuff. There are variations of polyfill, like "Polyfil", that can be found in arts & crafts stores. "Polyfil" will work almost as well as fiberglass, but without the nasty problems you run into when working with the pink stuff. By using polyfill in a sub box, it will artificially make the box act larger than it is, which will improve the deep bass response. Note that actually making the box larger than the driver is designed for will make it sound like crap. The speaker manufacturer or distributor will be able to tell you how much you should use. Otherwise, the only way to find out is by trying it yourself. Add about 1/2 pound at a time, until you like what you hear. When using polyfill, try to it out evenly, and try to make sure it doesn't touch the driver. If you are using a ported box, then only line the sides of the box with a 1" thick sheet of polyfill. You can buy polyfill that comes in sheets or loose

i'm running a single 10 RF in a sealed .625^3 pre-fab box(no budget for better yet) getting about 200rms, i did have a ported before, it was louder but this set-up is better imo. i found the biggest thing was tuning my system to get the attack and fade of the drums just right(thk-u eclipse 7200II). My system isn't four blocks away loud but i get compliments on its sound quality(tight drums and clean picking), getting your gains set right is also HUGE.

I had a pair of Punch HX2 15's years ago and I made a custom enclosure tuned to 40HZ and all forms of metal played well, Metallica, Slipknot, Godsmack, Korn, Pantera, and Killswitch to name a few. Personally I suggest if you go ported stay at the 40 hz mark don't go lower, double kick drums are deadly at 40hz, it is not boomy bass its a deep tight bass. I was pleased and then some with the result. hope this helps
