    If you're going to do something at least do it right. I know you've seen plenty of mod threads here, so no excuses.

    Can someone PLEASE tell me what size the bolt is that holds the dreadnought transformer to the case? I need to get one before they start shipping in a couple of weeks. Also the plate that goes on top of it.

    You know honestaquarian, when get all of the mods completely finished, and you've got the Dreadnought in place and everything starts to break in, you better have a good supply of Toilet Tissue handy...just sayin

    I could clearly see when I was trying this original Dynamat that it was so old that the adhesive really wasn't sticking very well anymore. As you can see above the pieces that I cut and stuck to the midwoofers have been falling off. Oh well as much as I hate to admit it @F1nut was right once again dammit!!

    Okay what about this?
    I'm not trying to completely cover the outside of the speaker baskets like most on here would do. Again I know from my own experience what F1nut in another thread said about only needing to use a little bit.

    That's only a 10" square sheet, not nearly enough.

    I've purchased from this seller on eBay, hookedontronics. Check out what deals they have.

    Thanks @F1nut
    Found them
    If I'm not covering the entire woofer basket and only using a couple of patches per driver. How much would I need then?

    The wedge pack is all you should need. You should have some left for other projects.

    If you haven't done your dreadnought box yet you might as well get enough for it. :)

    Well again you don't have to cover the entire inside of it. A patch on each wall should be more than enough. It just looks good in pics when you overdo it by covering everything.
