We typically have used 12mm, but say 10-15mm is a good range, probably up to 25mm if the box is large enuff.

Damping front is also necessary or only sides and top and bottom as i see some damp the front some dont.
Very hard to find felt made from wool here all of them are from polyester. Anything else i could use ?
Where are you? People have found interesting sources for good felt. Wool should be fairly widely available but sometimes pricey. Recycled cotton felt is becoming more commonlu avaiable. Some hempsubstitutes like manilla can also be found. Felt is used in pianos, under carpets (particularily older cars), and insulation (think gor heater blankets and such).

What about polyfill thats like felt so i could also stick to sides woudl that work tho? 🙂 Why isnt felt polyester ok ?
I’ve found a 14mm 30% wool and 70% recycled fabric carpet underlay that I’m going to use (in Aus). Just as an example of something different that seems to fit the bill.
I installed Pluvia7HD in various boxes and found the cost performance of DDVP-10-ML to be the best.
The sound quality is sufficient for my needs and I have no complaints.
The material cost is 25 USD (3,440 JPY).
12mm plywood is 18.2 USD, SP terminal is 4.4 USD, and sound absorbing material is 1.6 USD.

Can i put CHR70 drivers in the pluvia cabinet? I Just compared the cabinets and there isnt much difference so probably should be fine.

That looks like what i use in some of my cabinets. But it needs to have a certain thickness, like at least 1cm, to work well.
Nice!
since yesterday i've been following various projects for an active monitor to match the pc and markaudio pluvia 7 hd has a decidedly interesting sound. i also see your projects and all, or almost all, opt for these tall boxes with the reflex made in a certain way brought to the ground. i also see that you position pluvia 7 on the front panel flush with the outside and no one positions it on the inside edge of the front panel. is there a reason why no one has ever positioned it internally?

The basket is designed for front [surface or flush] mounting with slightly raised cylinders around the screw-holes, which would make rear-mounting more of a challenge. The latter also tends to increase diffraction effects in smaller driver sizes; the Markaudio units are designed with very shallow cone profiles & direct-bonded caps so they tend to have a wider polar response to higher frequencies than those with deeper cones &c.
I don't know how you recorded it, but you can hear that the SMLS A300 is a bit on the edge and not ideal for making them sound their best with the Dire Straits CD that I know very well. The fact remains that I really like Markaudio and the Pluvia.
