I just realized I didn't finish my log...stupid me. The following pictures are a couple months old....sorta like a look back in time LOL. Finished assembling the dampening that will go in the speakers. Zaph's plans called for some Sonic Barrier...but ever the cheap-ass, I decided to use a mixture of carpet padding with two different densities, similar to the 3-layer approach. For the back and the top I layered two pieces of chopped foam padding with some denser open-celled padding to create a 1 1/4" pad. The sides and bottom were covered in a pad consisting of two sheets of chopped-foam. My homemade approach worked relatively well...absorbed the unnecessary bass frequencies and tamed down the muddiness...which left me with a pair of pretty balanced and neutral bookshelf speakers.


General shot of dampening.


2-layer stuff.


1-layer.


Best spray adhesive for open-celled foam...impossible to tear apart bond...foam rips first.


Back and top done.

Living on my desk for the time being.

I know I should get some stands...believe me, it's in the works...plans are to get a couple of cinder blocks and glue them end to end so that they make a column. Seal, then paint them, install some spikes at the bottom, and voila...homemade 'dead' stands. I hoped you enjoyed this thread...pretty rewarding and satisfying.

Looks great I built my first subwoofer about three months ago. I was blow out of the water by the sound of this thing. IMO it is FAR better than anything I could have bought withing the 300.00 price range I had. Good luck man keep up the good work.

Up yours...send me some of your SPC and we'll see about that. Anyhow...moving on to the next project...an accompanying sub or another set of 2-ways (with bigger woofers?)? The more I play with these, the more I find the lower frequencies missing...although that's expected from the use of a 4" woofer...Hmmm
