I don't know why cotton is not used more as a damping material.

I have an old Fried line tunnel subwoofer that I removed the old fiberglass material and stuffed the enclosure with the 100% cotton stuffing and combined the unit with an NHT X-1 electronic X-over/equalizer and the deep/clean resonant free bass produced from this relatively small unit was down right staggering!!! It could make my rafters creak when certain frequencies were hit :-)

I abandoned the project as I could never get the sub to seamlessly blend with any of my satellites and thus moved onto the REL concept of subbass reinforcement but it was fun as hell.

Cheers,
