No-rez in Hsu STF-2

Another question about the Hsu STF-2 sub.

Would replacing the polyfiber fill with no-rez yield any discernible improvement in performance?

  They are used for two different purposes. The No-Res dampens the cabinet. The polyfill is a resistive load to the driver. It makes the internal volume of the cabinet larger. Plus dampens internal reflections.
  If the Hsu cabinet rings the No-Res should help. Leave the polyfill inside.

Panelhead is correct.

The No Rez will take away panel resonances. So the bass is tightened up, cleaner, more defined, and less boomy.

Looks like no rez it is.

Thanks!
