Some have been experimenting with Building Speaker enclosures with DOW (or equiv) Foam. First as a quick easy Prototype build experiment Then Realising that the stuff Both makes Box building V quick/easy/cheap.
Easy to lift speakers as a Bonus.
It Also works really well! in measured testings apparently.
Likely not going to replace Baltic Birch ply anytime soon.
But Maybe Medite :-)
Yes it is...this is the stuff.
Go to the Home Depo. site, then seach for FOAMULAR.
Lowes has it also. Cuts super easy with circular or jigsaw.
They may sell you 1/2 sheet too.
I have been trying to think of a way to less the volume of my Edgar Seismic back chambers and it never occurred to me to use something like that.
All open cell foams have lots of air in them so it would only look like it was taking up space unless you sealed it thoroughly with something and nothing comes to mind that would be easy and quick.
I would think closed cell foam would do a good job though it is more expensive and I would still want to coat it with something.
The link goes to a shop that offers many varieties and some explanation of each.
No question, polystyene would not be my choice. The neoprene is expensive but would last forever.
Polystyrene looks fine to me...what's wrong with it?. Too inexpensive?.
I used construction foam of this sort as a filler in the cabinets of a pair of three way d'Appolito towers with Dynaudio drivers I built years ago. Instead of using the foam as flat slabs I laminated up layers enough to cut thick wedges of it. Then I glued in the volume I wanted in the form of triangular wedges. I can't prove that was significant but the reduction of parallel surfaces couldn't have hurt.

I've used blocks of urethane foam. I'd be wary of polystyrene,the type that can break up into little beads.
