I am getting ready to install my new Stereo System, Alpine iLX-207... "Apple Car Play" (ACP) rated very good and Pioneer Speakers, two rear, four front, and 10" Woofer.
I was test driving a few Truck over the last three or so months, maybe more, came away from the driving with two things... "All Car Sales People thing the person buying a new vehicle is a gullible, stupid, individual, AND drum roll please, I thing this ACP is a great thing.
I had the Salmon on each Test Drive, show me how to use the ACP, and see just how much they knew. The younger sales people knew what to do, one older guy just getting back in the swing of selling cars didn't know but promised he would get someone that could explain it, never did, kept putting me off. (Jeep Gladiator Test), anyway... I can see the Waze App on a 7" screen and my other Apps worked great so I decided to get a Radio that IS suppose to use ACP !
So now I am at a point of the Woofer, I have from my Pile of Mods, Pioneer Speakers, yes new and in the OEM Boxes but not installed yet ! My Woofer is a Pioneer, TS-A250D4, 10" with an Enclosure that has a volume of .88 cu.ft. My problem is that I need between .50 and .80 to effectively use this bass, and .60 to .70 is where I want to be.
Does anyone know about filling the Enclosure with other material to increase performance and/or reduce volume ?
What materials are best, what materials are a scam ?
Thx / Ltr
