How much polyfill

[WD Pro]

Yes, it’s been quite useful up to now - it’s carried a birthday cake and my front number plate, if I got pulled off the coppers perhaps I could have showed the the plate and bribed them with cake ...

I did have my eye on the net bag from ford (I sourced the USA part number) and then by chance I bought some mustang stuff of eBay and the guy sent it me with the package for free !

It’s a genuine ford item (has a label, but with no part number), I will get you the part number when I am back in work as it’s on my work pc.

Give us a nudge if I forget

Where did you get your net 'bag' for your boot ? I assume it goes between the stud fixings ?

I've bought this one on eBay.

I've bought all three cargo nets on EBay. Just pick the cheapest one that doesn't look like complete garbage. There are really only a few actually different cargo nets that fit the S550, but they're sold under different brands for wildly-different prices. I've been happy with all three I've owned and I use them almost daily.

Guys, the polyfill you are using in the sub enclosures, is it this? https://www.amazon.com/Fairfield-Or...text&ref_=fplfs&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&gQT=1&th=1

That’s the same make that I used

Thanks!

EDIT: @WD Pro, do you recall about how much in oz you used in your enclosure? Is that 12 oz bag in my link enough?

That should be more than enough.

It took some digging, but I knew I would have likely mentioned it on here before :

Father Christmas isn’t coming this year kids, your dads bought a mustang instead - and just to make sure, I’ve disposed of him and hidden his beard in the sub box ...

I had picked up the fibre wading trick from reading on here, it seems to be a favourable option for the mustang sub box.

It’s cheap to do, £9 for a 12 oz bag from amazon and you need about 8 oz for the mustang box. I’m sure using the stuffing from an old pillow would also do.

It was only something that was an idea rather than part of my plan, but once the box was out to do the sequencers, the challenge of the B&O trim ring removal got the better of me … (I think the shaker trim ring is much easier to remove). Once the trim ring came off amazon prime came to the rescue for the fibre (I used brand ‘Poly-fil’).

I’m probably not the best reference for how much it helps / changes the sound, remember that the car is new for me and I’m still messing around with stereo setting etc. No one has ever said anything bad about the mod though so I guessed I had nothing to lose

And whilst I mentioned the trim ring :

It’s possible (but tricky) to get that speaker trim ring off with zero damage or marks to any of the plastics.

Leave it in the sun (or warm it up) and use two trim removal tools. Slide one underneath the ring following the circumference and the other like a traditional pry bar at right angle to the circumference. Use even pressure on both tools. There is a cone clip for every screw and the position between the clips and the screws are fixed. Look under the edge of the ring to locate the first clip and then note it’s position to find the others. The hardest clips are the ones under the trim ‘wings', leave them to the end so you have most movement and best visibility.
