ZD5 damping?

zdr · 9th January 2008, 07:16 PM

I am finishing ZD5 enclosure without the sand chamber, reducing the depth to keep the internal volume constant, and keeping baffle dimensions intact. Now, I wonder what should I use for damping and where exactly.

BTW, if anyone from EU is shopping at audiocomponents.nl/intertechnik and would like to build this baby, I can forward finished crossover shopping list.

Hi,

Line with foam pretty much as shown if the port is in the same place.
If the braces are in the same place stuffing the area behind the driver
with BAF can be used to fine tune the bass somewhat.

/sreten.

Akhm, I left braces out, I had a feeling it's not necessary now that the box is elegantly narrow

I hope I won't need it, but box can be opened in the back in case of emergency
