I guess that you can look at it this way that if you cld this one and it sounds better! you've only got the one set to complete.
apparently I'm a sucker for clamps, I don't remember them being particularly expensive mind you -> Buy Dakota Power Lever Clamps online at Rutlands.co.ukBet those clamps were not cheap mate
I think you just have to try it really, just give it a go on a fairly simple 2 way. Alternatively take a proven design and see if you can design it yourself.The more I see of your work with these the more I realise speaker designing is beyond me! [emoji53]
Frustrating because I really enjoy the physical building and really want to build something I've designed. Maybe if I keep reading one day I'll get my head around it?
Those Silent Coat pads go on well, don't they? I did however wipe and roughly seal the inside of the boxes first so that I could be more confident they'd stay there.got another box gluing up, this one is nice and shiny due to the damping and it is also very very nearly a perfect fit I think the next one might be a bit ropier but still

the lower layer is 4mm silentcoat extra - Silent Coat ExtraWhat material have you lined them with; looks like a stick on type damping and then more of a wool type?
It does seem a pretty effective way to add mass to a panel which should damp the resonance, haven't measured the effect yet though. However you are likely to be better off focusing on stiffening the box for a sub as this pushes the resonance up the frequency range and hence out of the pass band for a sub.Thanks for that Matt; I might add do similar with my 15" as I've striped them down to take off the Oak covering I put round them.
