Maximizing fairing acoustics?
#21
I do appreciate the feedback, gentlemen! Maybe that's more along the lines of how I should've worded this to begin with? "Has anyone already TRIED polyfill and/or ports on Stage2, and seen any effect, whatsoever?" Has anyone already tried the trial/error possibilities, before ditching the system? There's no way I'm the first to consider/try this.

With your system, first thing I would try is to seal the speaker pods:

Second, I would try to install dynamat (amazon/ebay brand) to the speaker pods only. If you do a search, someone posted a set of templates here somewhere. I can't see spending that kind of money to line the whole inside of the fairing.

I would think that for what you are going to pay for the BT brackets and sound deadening material you could get line levelers, inexpensive amp like a PPI 350.2D, amp wiring kit and some Kappa 62.11i for the fairing and it would sound a hell of a lot better than the boom system. The Kappa's will require you to modify the pods. Others can chime in on smaller magnet/bracket 6.5's that will fit without modifications to the pods.
I can't see your ROI being that great from merely modifying the pods in any way.

I'll throw my 2 pennies in the mix.
I never ported my pods with the Boom speakers in them. When I committed to better sounding audio, I replaced the speakers and added an amp. I did end up porting my pods shortly thereafter and it made a vast improvement. I used a 1-3/4" hole saw and kept the "disk" that was removed. I figured if it didn't help, or hurt, I could epoxy the piece back in. I had nothing to lose that way.
It's all trial and error...
