FOAM PLACEMENTS IN RF-7'S

[rugerdog]

Can anyone,please,tell the proper foam placement in my RF-7 speakers?

I recently did an internal mod, and noticed the foams did'nt seem to be in there in any logical or benificial manner,it may have fallen,shifted during shipping,handeling.

I put it so:

For the tweeter,I put the foam so it runs along top,then down backside,and then along small bottom portion/towards front.Leaves an opening to midrange.Sides are bare.

For Midrange I did the same.Along top(covers opening at tweeter),down backside,and then towards front.Leaves opening into low woofer.Sides are bare.

For the lowest area/woofer.I ran down front(just under woofer),along bottom,it just makes contact with back.It fits perfectly like that.Sides are bare.

The way the foams were in there,for the tweet and mid,it was folded up so it was just behind the tweeter.And folded up so just behind mid woofer.

Foam on the bottom kinda hrad to describe.It was just kinda stuffed in there.

I've read that speaker designs with ports,should not have foam at backside,only on sides.May have been only describing subwoofer cabinet design,it was confusing.

I'm wondering if:I would leave tweeter area as I dercibed/in picture I drew.

And if I should change other mid and lower foams like:

For the mid area,if I should have foam up side,across top,and down other side.Nothing on/against back.Would leave no opening into tweeter area.

And in lowest area, if i should have foam going down side,along bottom and up other side.Nothing against front.Can't or would'nt be any on backside,because of ports.

Your drawing is correct. The LF foam is placed so it "looks good" when viewed from the port. As long as it does not cover the port, it will work.
