Box stuffing with rigid fiberglass

stephenmarklay · 9th January 2010, 01:27 PM

Any real experience with this?

Corning 703, 705 or even rockwool. Seems like a layer on the walls would work well.

Yes, I used it. Be careful because it's much more dense than normal fiberglass, so it's easy to overstuff your box.

I follow the lead of Bob Brines and attach it to the walls only.

Review the resonance characteristics of the box 1st. This allows you to use minimal stuffing, which the fiberglass board satisfies.

Thank you gents. I am going to get some 1" owens corning 703 (less dense) to try on the walls.
