"Hollow" and "sealed" really don't apply in a tube trap. Fiberglass is a porous material, so it's not like pressure can build up inside. The key to any "velocity" type bass trap is having a large amount of thick material, and placing it near as many corners as you can manage.

Yes, fluffy fiberglass when compressed behaves more like rigid fiberglass. But the deeper the trap, the less important high density will be.
