Need Your Honest Opinion...

Alright, the area behind the speakers in the sail panels have the foam baffles in them, so, what I did was line the inside of them with duct tape, covering up all the holes.

My next step that I took was I effectively cut the enclosure in half by putting duct tape across the middle of it, then, continued to use the duct tape, and made a full fledged sealed encloure made of duct tape.

I need to know, whether it would have been best not to cut the enclosure in half and to have used polyfill instead, or if what ive done now is better.

Fill the enclosure TOTALLY up with polyfill?
OR
Leave my Duct Tape Enclosures.

no I dont, try to imagine a little "Pouch" of duct tape for each speaker to sit in.

Use the polyfill. The duct tape will dry out and get nasty and very dusty in less than a year.

alright then, looks like im going with the polyfill.

Now, do I fill up the enclosure with as much as I can stuff in behind the speaker?

Or leave some free space behind the speaker?

Definately leave some space behind the speaker.

You can save yourself alot of time and effort by just picking up a pair of these baffles.
