Actually the sandbag/cotton batting combo goes under the crossover board/components. When I was originally planning on going the full sand route, I had a concern that eventually the pegboard and components might vibrate their way down to the bottom of the box. So the sandbag/batting was put there to maintain the proper spacing, to prop up the board and act like a constaint layer. As an alternative, one could use cotton "parts" bags, instead of plastic. But AFAIK, to order these on-line involves large quantity purchases.
For damping around the components, I'm just using the cotton balls. Al Sekela often recommends cotton batting as an alternative to sand. IMHO, unlike the batting, the balls should fit around wires and parts better. You know, like the way they fit between our toes when we paint our nails :^) jk
Yes my upstairs listening room has wood floors, kind of mushy. The downstairs HT room is open ended with concrete floors, and I play hell getting decent bass in that room.
Definably will check out the inner tubes. My boxes are 11 1/2" square, so they should fit underneath fine.
