Question: stuffing box helps improve bass response?

Hello,

I was searching google, and I saw a site that recommended stuffing the subwoofer box with polyfil. This makes the box seem larger than it really is.
Does this really help improve the bass? Has anyone tried this?

I think EVERYBODY has tried it. Yeah it works, how much it works is debatable. I really need to put some in mine so when I do I'll post some results

what about putting foam baffles under the rear 6.5 speakers?

ok
stuffing merely simulates a larger enclosure
it isnt necessary if you have a proper sized box.
youll notice a bit more low end response, and the drawback is a tiny tiny tiny drop in output, maybe not even audible

as to the foam baffles, theyre really only effective in doors to prevent water damage
