I've got an old WEM closed back 1x12" cab which no matter what amp I use it with, or speaker I put in, it sounds "boxy" at volume. (Latest attempt is a Celestion Gold).
It's a fairly big cab for a 1 x 12, I believe that it could be originally bought in 2 x 10 format as well, hence the size. Its all 15mm ply, including the baffle.
What would the effect of packing it with foam be? and what type of foam?

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Hmm ... two votes against stuffing. I'm sure you're right. Trouble is with the back off the cab all together it doesn't sound any better, well, perhaps a little. I take it that having a 1/3 gap open back is quite different to a 100% open back?
Not got much of a clue with this "acoustics" stuff, though I'd like to have ... Any recommendations for reading material on the subject would be much appreciated.
