Sound Dampner/Polyfill. Both?
I have installed sound dampner inside my outer fairing. Also, have polyfill wrapped around rear of speakers.
I know there are different opinions on this subject. So lets hear them.
Do you get a different benefit from each? Dampner help with fairing vibration? While polyfill tricks speaker into thinking it is in a larger space?
Only need one or the other?

I'm absolutely no expert on the subject but when UltraNutz was kicking around here one of his suggestions was polyfill. What my speakers did before that was the sound was bouncing around inside the fairing producing undesirable results. After I polyfilled around them it cured that. It made for a better sounding bass for sure.

Damn near every different speaker will respond in a different manner. The dynamat is without question a huge improvement for the fairing "speaker enclosure" but the benefit from poly will vary a bit.

the 2 different materials do 2 different things. one is a sound damper and one creates "an Illusion" for the speaker's suspension. I would think that a combo of both work give the best results. on the non rushmore bikes i've had very good luck using polyfill packed around the speaker. I'm probably going to put some dynomat in this weekend, so i'll post up the results if it's anything to write home about.

It will not help distortion that I am aware of. You need to properly set your gains on your amp to start.
