acoustical stuffing / sound dampening subwoofer cabinet REL BRITANNIA B1 subwoofer


Hello,

 

Quick question on acoustical stuffing / sound dampening in a subwoofer cabinet.

I am the 2nd owner of a REL Brittania B1 subwoofer.

Opened it up, and NO stuffing. A bit surprising. My guess is the original who was a dumb &*(&#$   removed it.

I am guessing there should be some stuffing in the cabinet.

 

IF SO, I am looking for recommendations as to how much to put in the cabinet and where.

THANKS for the help!

Please see pictures for view of interior of cabinet. Bottom-Middle- Top pictures

 

FYI--- Interior of cabinet is approximately 13” x 15” x 19”

If you're still looking for possible drivers, the Rythmik Audio appears to be very nice:

The specs say the DS1200 works fine in a 3-4 square foot vented cabinet.  I don't know the pricing, but you can contact them.  They are in Texas.

Yup, Rythmik woofers are very good. The 12" is offered in two versions---with an aluminum cone, or a paper one, your choice. For really high performance, the Rythmik woofers can be used with the company's dedicated servo-feedback circuit plate amp, 370w or 600w. For use in a sealed enclosure, 1.5-2.0 cu.ft. is recommended. A lot of Maggie users are very happy with their Rythmik subs. Jim Salk offers his top model speakers with Rythmik subs built in.
I have 2 REL subs from the same era (Q150e and Q108II) and both are unstuffed, sound fabulous, and never overheat or get particularly hot at all. 
Thanks AUX-- I have narrowed it down to 2 options, I will look into that rythmik driver as well.

Thanks again!!
