building a sub box

i reccently built a sub box for 2 12 inch subs, and want to add pollyfil to it bc its supposed to increase the deep bass...does anyone know how to secure the pollyfil so non of the fibers get into the actuall woofer? or is this not a problem?

actually before i gave the box to the guy to paint i tried it out for about 30 mins to make sure everything worked, and it sounded amazing, but looking online it seems that everyone says polyfil will make a big improvement, and an additional improvment would be nuts. my subs require from 1.5-3.5ft3 of volume each, and my box gives them roughly 1.35 ft3, so i figure if the subs think they are in a larger box it can only help. I bought 40 oz of this stuff at a crafts store for like 3 bucks, so i figured id give it a shot. you think its going to help?

it'll definately help with the lower bass notes. overall output should be the same though.
