Foam Plugs


I noticed that some ported speakers come with foam plugs.

In what situation would you use these? What results can be expected from using these?

HSU ported subs currently are double ported. They also come with a single foam plug. You run the sub in 'Max Extension' or 'Max Output' mode, depending on plug insertion or not. There is also a backpanel switch to be set according to the plug insertion condition.
I have never experimented with this, since even in Max Extension mode, it goes plenty loud enough, even in a room which is on the large side for the sub.
The plug is not intended to 'convert' the sub to true AS, but just vary port tuning, as near as I can 'figger.
