Sound Damping Material
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! Retro |
