A Monster Construction Methods Shootout Thread

[phase]

I use HDPE for baffles whenever I can.
It seems to work better in practice.

I'll Bite, where do you get HDPE sheets for your construction?

 

[phase]

Don’t laugh, wherever there are cheap cutting boards, for smaller enclosures anyways.
For larger drivers, where the usual 3/8” thickness isn’t adequate, maybe McMaster Carr.

...the PE cutting boards for kitchen...seem to be a good damping material too indeed. Certainly can be veenered as well if not painted. Usually white, colored versions exist.
The bamboo thickest ones from Ikea can be handy for the front baffle too.

Here is the driver response and the contribution from the box, you'll have to decide if this is a problem or not:

I was wondering what your subjective opinion was.

Sikaflex + microspheres in 1:1 ratio is what the average diy’er would have access to.

@Mindsource , is this ratio

• By weight
• By volume
