Randy Bey Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 With poly or whatever? I guess it would take quite a lot. Not sure what the benefit would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 RB, I haven't done it yet. Being an obsessive/compulsive anal retentive audiophile, I am troubled by the thought of sound resonating around in there, but I'm also a little uncomfortable with the idea of just stuffing wads of polyfil in there. I'd like it to be neat and tidy. I don't want it trying to fall out the back of the speaker while I'm moving it back into the corner. Maybe the precut squares would be the way to go. It costs more that way, though. ...man i really need to get out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartmut Hansen Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 The guy who sold me his '61 Bass bins had stuffed the tops with bird-sand or cat-sand because this was meant to be softer the "normal" sand. It seem he wasn't pleased with the results as he tried three or four different mids&highs. I will wrap some used horns with wirenetting and put a cement layer over it, maybe an additonal layer (easy to do cause the bricklayers are anyway working here). Results to be posted in some 5 week, i think. hartmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Warren Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 cement makes a great horn material. packing an aluminum or polymeric horn in cement is a BAD idea, the cement will separate from the horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvan Posted February 17, 2001 Share Posted February 17, 2001 what's wrong with just wrapping the horn with damping material such as bituthene, etc? If the horn is prevented from resonating into the cavity, then what's the problem? Now, if the horn excites resonances in the plywood itself through the interface of the horn/cabinet I suppose damping material could be put on the mounting fange. After that, damping material could be put on the inside surfaces of the cabinet. Aaaah, where does it stop, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
