Hi Gents,
I am building the cabinets for my newly arrived Alpair 10Ps and am wondering about the best lining for the slightly modified (15L) Wooden Designs Simple Reflex 103 cabinet. The cabinet is built of 3/4" baltic birch with mitered joints.
I have several yards of 3/8" thick medium density jute headliner material. The plans suggest that "all internal sides of the cabinet" be damped. So, two questions:
1. Should the floor and the back of the baffle below the speaker be lined? And.
2. Is one layer of the 3/8" medium density jute suffiient, or do I need to glue two layers together to get a 3/4" thickness in order to reach the recommended "damping" level?
I know that the lining is not actually damping the panels to any significant degree, but is there to reduce internal reflections that may feed back through the cone. I'm just using the word damping since that is what is used in the plans.
Best,
Jay
