The Coral Flat 8 is a good driver indeed, but the Beta series is even better, having molded baskets instead of the stamped baskets of the Flat series.
A stamped basket resonates heavily when struck with an object, and the same goes for my Flat 8's.
They sing like a bell when struck, so I decided to try my hand at dampening the basket with some rubber dampening material.
The rubber sheet has adhesive of one side, but it doesn't stick well to metal so cable ties are needed to ensure good contact between the basket and the rubber.
Unmodified driver: -Rings like crazy when struck.
Modified driver: -Totally dead when struck, no resonance at all.
