wow - so i opened up my WM40 today, i've had the bag of polyfill for about 3 months now, but i wanted to really hear the sub for what is was just out of the box...
so - i used about 10-12 oz. of the fluffy poly pillow stuff (WallyMart for $3.50 for a 20oz bag) and HOLY COW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!
there's enough play in the cabling to do this project with the sub in it's normal playing position, just be careful not to "drop" the speaker when taking out that last screw
there was an 8" by 12" (about 1/4" thick) piece of poly stuffing/filler already in the box... pretty much useless... but with the 10-12 oz. of stuffing the box is pretty full (losely packed)
incredible sound, not boomy at all anymore... (which i'll now admit the original was a bit boomy)
oh yah, one thing i noticed is that the AMP wasn't even in the same chamber as the speaker so there's nothing to worry about with messing with electronics - very cool bonus!!!
anyhoo... the cliff notes version is to put 10-12oz. of poly (fluffy) stuffing in your Sony SA-WM40 for truly excellent sound from a sub $500 sub...
