Dynamatting Rti12's and CsiA6
Options
I got a fresh sheet of Dynamat for my Rti12 drivers. Three questions though:
1) Should I Dynamat the tweeters? If so where on the tweets?
2) Anything else I can do with the 12's while I've got them open/drivers removed? Black hole, additional poly fill, etc? No cross over upgrades at this time.
3) I've noticed alot of resonance in my CsiA6 center channel cabinet. When I rest my hand on top of the A6, I can feel alot of vibration. Is this normal? Would some Dynamat on the inside top of the cabinet help or would it change the acoustics of the speaker?
Thanks

I've wondered about Dynamiting too….the SDA Guys slap it on all over the midrange drivers, and the PR, but I don't see any other speakers getting this treatment…why is that?Up

I added it to the drivers in my RTi A7, A6 and FXi A6's. You should too. :cool:Political Correctness'.........defined

What about the basket on the subwoofer? Should that be done? I've seen threads about applying it to the drivers on the front and center speakers, but I haven't seen mention of this on sub baskets, unless I missed it somewhere. -
If it's stamped steel, then yes, but I don't think subs have stamped steel baskets these days.Political Correctness'.........defined

Does dynamat only work with certain metals?
-
It's nothing to do with working with certain metals. Stamped steel baskets ring, cast aluminum baskets don't, so there would be no need to dampen them.Political Correctness'.........defined
