Dampening Material

TrashyTrucker

Hey all,
Yet more question(s)...
Seen here in Larry's ring post

http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102023

I noticed some fabric or sound dampening material on the sidewalls of his speaker review post please (scroll down to 9th pic) What is that? I havent begun the task of my upgrades yet and wanted to get all information before I start!

1)what is that? Is it stock?
2)Isnt there some sound dampening paint? Thought I might of read that here somewhere?
3)Where do you order this paint?
4)Is it necessary? I have already climbed in this deep thus far!

Sorry for the questions... but what do you expect from a Newb?
OK...let the bashing begin!

It's BlackHole on the back walls and Sound Barrier on the side walls. You can buy it at parts express and sonicraft.

It does a fantastic job on the highs but I did not like it on the lows.

I kept it in my 1C's and took it out of my 1.2tl's.

Try it at your own risk with that said I say you do all but this JMHO.

Thanks Larry,

And I got the complete set of (+tweets brackets) rings today, Thanks! Fantastic job! Will install them real soon, I am still waiting on the dynamat and Sonicaps,mills etc... Hope 18" x 32" (4 sq. ft.) Dynamat will be enough to do the
3.1's?
If not I can go to a local retailer and pay 4x's as much LOL. :rolleyes:


Thanks to you all,
Matt
