Its called Dacron, buy it from spot light in loose and sheet form.

Jack

spotlight sells it for less then 8 bucks

its used for pillow stuffing, polyfill, but buy loose stuff not sheets of it unless using in a ported box. spray glue the box walls , and lightly take hand fulls of it and stick it to the box /glue

do not get too much in it or it will sound muffled or flat. and do not get any on the sub frame or ports for those of using it in ported boxes

a light fill is all you need, to smooth out the sound from a boomy sounding box, bass can sound tighter/quicker

polyfill tricks the box into thinking its bigger then it is, by bending sound waves around the fibre's the sound length changes(acoustical physics, simplified)

Yeah I use poliester fiberfill for all my boxs, just keep it away from the ports and you will be fine. bit of hot glue or stables to put it in.

You can get it just about any fabric store, Ive been meaning to try the wool fiberfill oneday.

wool doesnt sound good, the weave is too tight, they used it on some home speakers back in the day as a gimick

hot glue falls off if applied in a dusty box or vibration

staples can rust, and vibrate out, or even create a sound of there own , like a tuning fork? stick with spray glue or contact cement

Guess I wont try it then, never had any rust or fall off, as I use stainless staples from a compressed gun. contact cement does work good!, some people cant stand the smell so I suggested hot glue as an alternative, provided the surface is clean it shouldnt be a problem.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
