Default Stealth Box stuffed or nothing?

10 inch jl audio sub with 300 rms in a stealth box. Would you stuff the sub box with cotton fibers or leave it empty?

Stuffing the box has the effect of making the box a bit larger. So you'd want to compare the box size w/ what the mfg recommends. A full stuffing would be equivalent of adding 10-15% volume

If you will be adding "stuffing" make sure it is the acoustic filler. Cotton and Fiberglass might look similar but they aren't. +1 to what @JoshHefnerX stated, check the internal volume JL recommends for that speaker. These boxes are really small for subs but luckily most modern subs are designed for smaller enclosures now days.

The recommended volume for the 10w0 is 0.65ft^3, stealth boxes are actually a tad bigger at 0.75ft^3 before the sub is loaded in. I would probably leave it without any fill.

Thanks, I decided to leave the box empty with just the sub.
