acoustical stuffing / sound dampening subwoofer cabinet REL BRITANNIA B1 subwoofer

I have 2 REL subs from the same era (Q150e and Q108II) and both are unstuffed, sound fabulous, and never overheat or get particularly hot at all. 

Thanks AUX-- I have narrowed it down to 2 options, I will look into that rythmik driver as well.

Thanks again!!

Out of curiosity, which 2 options are you looking at?

My experience is that speakers almost always have waaay too much stuffing. The only thing that does is decrease the effective volume. For best results use only a grapefruit size amount of pure hollow fiber wool. The sound will be more open, more detailed and have better bass performance. Why are most speakers filled with stuffing? Most likely it’s just a case of monkey see, monkey do. 🐒

The two I am considering are:

The rhythmik and the AD12-300 from BKELEC in the U.K.

I ruled out an NHT 1259, simply too old, want to go with new.

The problem with the RHYTHMIK is that they are NOT selling the driver separately. They want you to buy the whole sub. It even states that on their website. So I wrote them to see if they will sell one separately. Waiting to hear back.

The problem with the BKELEX is that I had written them in the past, got no response. Gave it one more try last week, they actually responded, but have not sent me an invoice. Still waiting on that too!

Might need a 3rd option after all the hassle!
