Default Polyfill???

I have 2 kicker cvr10's in a subthump reg cab sealed enclosure. The minimum recommended airspace for the subs is .8 ft^3. Subthump says the box provides .85 ft^3 for each sub. I know adding polyfill make your subs louder by making them think they are in a larger box. I plan on getting some and gluing it inside my box with some spray adhesive. How much do I put in each side of my box? The manual for the subs says 50%. 50% of what? I've heard a good rule of thumb is 1 pound of polyfill for every cubic foot of airspace. Thanks guys!

BTW, here is a link to the box and subs I have.

yes, add about 1/2 of a 1 lb bag, and you can play with it until it has the desired performance.

Don't glue it, just put it in there. Just try to avoid slamming it into the suspension/motor assembly.

I agree with ^^^.Pack half in there but make sure you are not suffocating the sub structure,basically make a bowl of polyfill.
