Question about Coniston MBVR damping material

[achwasnu]

Hi everyone,

I am planning to build a pair of Conistons (http://p10hifi.net/FH/downloads/Lake-District-maps-080909.pdf). I seem to have trouble obtaining wool felt in 15mm thickness as damping lining. Is there any alternative I can use? What about acoustic foam (I have 20/20mm)? Would this be an alternative?

Thank you for your suggestions and help. I am fairly new to building my own speakers, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.

Regards,

Hilmar

Not foam. Vile stuff. A decent natural fiber carpet underlay, BAF wadding or similar will do fine.

Thanks a lot for the prompt answer - got to keep looking then.
