Default Adire Tempest Downfiring Ported Subwoofer Project : PolyfillConcerns

I'm preparing to build an enclosure for the Adire Tempest driver using
Adire's plans called the "Adire Alignment". This will be a 7.56 cu
ft box with two 3" diameter ports. The sub is downfiring.


Redesign the box for vertical placement of the loudspeaker. You will
like having done this in 10 years. Just my opinion, ymmv.

I have all the plans and needed wood measurements, however, I have
concern about how to stuff the recommended 4 lbs of polyfill. By
filling the entire encolsure evenly with 4 lbs of polyfill, I'm
concerned that there is some risk that the polyfill will settle around
the back of the driver or into the port tubes.

Any suggestions about how to prevent this? Could I use some type of
screen material or perhaps an additional brace (with numberous holes)
placed above the subwoofer?


Gregs suggestion on how to keep the polyfill in place will still apply.
