Dampening material query

HTRookie · 2nd November 2008, 01:02 AM

Hello there.

I am in the process of completing the centre channel speaker of a design off the HT guide website, for which there is no information about how much (and where) to put damping material. I have some Acousta-stuff (for the mid-range/tweeter enclosure), and some adhesive backed material from PE. What is the rule of thumb here? Do I cover the sides and back with the sticky back material and loosely stuff the mid-range enclosure and call it a day?

I have zero experience with this, so I appreciate any suggestions you may offer.

Thanks!
