Sound Damping Material

[Retrosonic]

Hi guys,
I'm finishing up a pair of DIY Speakers.

Audio Nirvana 10 inch Cast Frame drivers in a pair of Original Advent Wood Cabinets, the really nice wood ones, not the cheapo vinyl coated ones.

Anyway, the manufacturer recommends 1 inch thick sound damping material on the inside of the cabinet. They say not to use the eggcrate acoustic foam that studios use on walls, tho.

Any thoughts on what I should use here? Anything I can buy retail? I just want something simple to tack inside the cab with glue.

thanks for any help!

deflex inside cabinets.

i made some rock wool room treatment panels.
four 2' x 4' panels, my wife made some off-white burlap covers.
work well, very noticable, gonna make a few more (room still sounds a little live).

That's cool to know for the panels. I was just at the fabric store looking at burlap. Cheap!

What's deflex?
