I pulled this info from the March/April 1995 issue of Car Stereo Review. Is there any downside to stuffing an enclosure? Some of the densities mentioned are pretty well beyond some of the general recommendations that you'll find in various other sources.
Unconfirmed negatives I think I've heard in the past:
1) stuffing can impede the airflow through the port.
- This seems intuitive but there is no mention of it in the linked article and the listed changes are measured, not theoretical
- if this is an issue is it mitigated with the use of a passive radiator?
2) intentionally building a box undersize and then stuffing to desired spec hurts efficiency
- I think I heard this once, possibly years on this board. I'd need something beyond a Woofer Tester to verify this though.
