Default Polyfilled the stock Sony sub

I figured I'd do a little write up on this 2$ mod after i did it last night. Sounds better thats for sure and it only took around 10 minutes. FOR ALL THOSE WHO DO IT make sure you dont put too much pollyfill or it wont sound any different so just play around with the amount till you get it right but its not to hard to do i just used the factory stuffing and used its cushiness/density as a gauge to know how much polyfill to stuff the box with.

I went down to Walmart and grabbed a polyfill pillow for 2$ drove home, cut the pilow open, unbolted the sub from the bottom of the box, took out the BS factory stuffing, filled it with about 1/5 of the pillows pollyfill, screwed the sub back in. Done deal best 2$ mod i know
