Much cheaper at an uphoslstery store. Was going to get if from PE but the price was too much. The place I went to had both but I opted for the batting so I didnt stuff the back of my speakers! Of coarse if a upholstery store isnt available PE is definately a good choice.
) and I don't know much about cabinet design and how design aspects change tone.
How about the suggestion of adding the post like most 4x12 cabinets have? What exactly is the purpose and how would that change the tone? Thanks for all the help so far and thank you for bearing with my questions. Only recently have I discovered how much tone comes from the cabinet itself (as opposed to just being there to hold the speakers and having something to set the amp head on...
Very cool. I think I will try that along with a little bit of foam. What did you use to brace it? 2x2? 2x4?
Does dampening a cab's resonance create more or less bass?
Stuff it. It reduces bass a bit but also makes it more accurate-less boomy and flubby. If you dont like it experiment with just lining it . BobDoes dampening a cab's resonance create less bass?
I recently purchased an oversized 2x12 closed back and the people upstairs from my practice space keep coming down telling me to roll off the bass! Even with the bass rolled off at low volume level it still seems to carry through out the whole building
Do you think the solution would be to stuff it, add lining, and a brace btw the baffels? Which should I start with first?
loaded question - think of the linear wave example of a frequency. Highs have a short wavelength while low end has a long one. When these waves reflect back upon each other they can create a NULL all the way to nearly creating a doubling effect. It's more prevalent in low frequencies for our ears because the wavelength is longer.
