Hi Kandy...me again...LOL!! I would go to a fabric store/hobby store (Walmart has it) or something like that and buy some polyfill or similar material for pillows. That way you can measure how much is going in by the amount in the bag. Just cram it in there. Try to keep it away from the subs inner frame but it doesn't matter too much. It should be between the sub and any part of the enclosures surface area. The inside of your enclosure is going tolook like the inside of a pillow when your done filling it. Then hook up the wires and drop in the sub.
