Good tip here.
You can make it even better by adding more internal bracing - a front to back as close to the driver as possible and also along the corner edges(front to back) if they don't have any wood there. A 3rd area is top to bottom. Use 1 inch or 1 1/4 strips of hardwood and just glue them in, but make sure they fit tight, and don't get in the way of the driver.
This will make the box very high pitched when you tap on it. The higher the pitch, the more rigid the enclosure. Now add that stuffing(fluffy-not stuffy!)
This should help the driver go a little lower in your now stiff box.
NOTE: this mod is for inexpensive boxes that have little or no bracing with 3/4inch walls, and a well known trick in shops that make sub enclosures.
