Yes, that does make sense.
Cadence Audio - Pune - has used a variant of this in the enclosure of their speakers..................... Mr. Navin - please do contribute.
Thanks

Thank you for the explanation Bhagwan and Navin, Bhagwan seem like you have covered all the bas(s)es as Navin has also explained.

Though I did not understand "I do not like to play the sub above 80 cycles. I cut it @ 12dB per octave @ 80 Hzs. So the woofer plays till 120 cycles down 12 dB. Those frequencies need to be absorbed. These materials help. Hence, I use them" being the n00b I am, however will google and try to know about the same.

I understand that you are looking for good sq as in your home audio and hence implemention the techniques that you have mentioned..thank you for the pics also heheh the construction looks neat and professional..great to see so much enthusiasm.

Keep up the good work and enthusiasm sir, waiting for the final pics and your feedback.
