Speakers with passive radiators are more complicated to design than ported speakers. Polyfill is used in some designs, not fiberglass insulation, the polyfill is used not for dampening but to make the cabinet seem bigger than it really is. Sometimes weights are used on the passive radiator also.
How properly covered internal sides of enclosures for speakers with a passive radiator?
My question to people who have practical experience to build a sealed (closed) cabinets for speakers with passive radiator?
I have experience to build speakers with ported cabinets, but now I've decided to build a three-way sealed cabinet using one woofer in the middle of the front panel and one passive radiator below the woofer. When I built the cabinets with ports, to minimize reflection and etc, I put felt material on all interior panels : left, right, rear, bottom and top panels (except the front panel). I know, passive radiator works using air pressure from woofer.
