Hi everybody, it's awesome that there's so much help available here. Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed somewhere.

I'm working on a XF412 build. The instructions instruct to line the interior with 1-1.5" thick acoustic/open-cell foam, or 1/2" felt carpet padding.
Parts-express also has a recycled denim material:

Are these options all equivalent? Is there any reason aside from cost/availability to choose one over the other? Should I be planning to get several and A/B compare them?

A potentially relevant factor: I'm using Scumback drivers, which are 5.125 deep. So, I've increased the overall cabinet depth by 2" to accommodate the additional depth and potential differences in magnet diameter. For a deeper cabinet, is less or more damping material desirable?

Also, I'm building the closed-back version.

Thanks!

They're equivalent in how they work, but not in price. Carpet padding can be free from local carpet installers as scraps. The additional cab depth won't have any effect.

Thanks Bill!
