 Wondering if anyone tried felt around the baskets and if they noticed a difference.
I am thinking just a strip for the underside or a larger piece to wrap right around each basket arm.
I guess I could hold it in place with a thin wire or tape thinking glue might be messy if I don't like it. Although I guess I could use glue between the overlapped felt should I wrap them around the basket.

 Hi,
i recommend one self adhesive felt- pad, diameter 18mm - 22mm on the inside of each arm of the basket to eliminate disturbing back- waves which are reflected from the inside of the arm on the cone.
Full covering the arms with a layer of felt wrapped around each arm is too much and results overdamped sound.

Regards

 I ended up buying some felt at a fabric store. I also bought a three foot length of 2.5 inch wide Velcro that has adhesive on one side. Then I cut them in around 5 inch lengths and stuck everything under the basket arms.

I thought about buying the felt with adhesive that is used for under furniture but it seemed to not be as soft as regular felt.

 Hi,

sorry for my late answer, i didn`t see that there is a new post in this thread!

The Magic Twins filters for speakers are connected to plus and minus of the input- terminals of the open baffles.
