UPDATE: Veneering the Menhir I speakers

[elfranche]

Greetings everyone.

I made a webpage with a slideshow featuring my latest build,
the 'Menhir I' 3-way speakers.

Here's a link to the index page:

Enjoy.

congrats well done

Great job!

Veneering is the only building step I have to contract out, I suck at it 🙁

Is that aerosol foam inside the enclosures? Does it yield good results?

Wow. Looks Great! How do they sound?

It *IS* aerosol foam. But that's merely for volume lessening.
The damping is still provided by tar-based black tiles and some quality polyester foam.

As for the sound, it's formidable!

What type/brand of tar-based tiles are you using and where do you get them? Is it roofing felt?

I got the rolls direct from SOLEN. Not sure if they are specifically designed for speakers. It's the second item from the top on PAGE 13 of this pricing list: http://www.solen.ca/pdf/partretusd.pdf

Or canadian prices here --> http://www.solen.ca/pdf/partretcad.pdf
