We don't normally insulate speakers. We usually, but not always, dampen them according to their build type, which varies a lot according to their build type.Any thought on insulating the inside of speakers?
Garry,Sorry wrong term. Does poly fill work as a dampener? I have a tower with a port below the woofer, a port or hole above the woofer a port or hole above the mid range, and a port or hole above the tweeter en closer. When dampening these towers what would be a good guideline for the proper procedure? Thanks for you help. Garry Here is a picture of the tower.I took out the cheap speakers and tweeters and in the process of putting in Infinities.
What are you trying to do? If you want infinity towers buy the Infinity Primus 362 and then line the walls with peel-n-seal and 2" or burlapped rockwool or fiber. This will dramatically improve performance.Sorry wrong term. Does poly fill work as a dampener?

Mike that seems a bit pricey for polyfill. Wool or fiber is much cheaper and superior in absorption.Garry,
I think all you would need is some 1.25 eggcrate foam for your application. If you can find a sheet of loose wool, that would work as well and perhaps better. Don't overdampen.
I would spray on the high strength 3M adhesive to the cabinet and the material, let it tack dry and apply it that way. You won't need much. I would do one side, the bottom, and the rear of the cabinet. Polyfil can find its way down into your ports and drivers as it sometimes falls apart.
Here is a link to a sheet of the eggcrate: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-516
I would get a couple of sheets as you will probably need some later. Shipping would be the same respectively.
If you want to use the wool, which some high end audiophiles like much better, I would go to some fabric shops or hit the 'ole EBAY link and find some. It has a tendency to make cabinets sound better.
Good luck:T
Ok....He has had his question answered and now has several options. I don't cut corners on anything I build. I got about 5 lbs of Romney wool off of Ebay for 22 bucks delivered.Mike that seems a bit pricey for polyfill. Wool or fiber is much cheaper and superior in absorption.
That's not a bad deal on the wool. You gotta love ebay. :T:bigsmile:Ok....He has had his question answered and now has several options. I don't cut corners on anything I build. I got about 5 lbs of Romney wool off of Ebay for 22 bucks delivered.
I did suggest wool in my post.
