My only concern is this stuff (from what I hear, I never used it) leaves one hell of a mess when it comes off, IF it comes off because I understand the longer it's on something the more it wants to stay on.

I'm not sure that qualifies it as an ideal "temp" solution until one can make their own frames. I think you may find you're now "stuck" with it. Clamping on a piece of wood as a temporary thing seems more practical to me.

It's all about the music...

Hey Pg,

It is a concern, though just not a big one.

First off having heard its effects I doubt I'll be removing it anytime soon or at all for that matter.

2nd it will come off easy if it is heated a bit. You are right that it is a huge pain to remove if you don't use a bit of heat (which is made easier by the aluminum). And I have heard that goo gone takes it off too, though have never tried it.

It would be interesting to see what its addition to maggies with wood frames would do. Maybe someone with some wood framed mags will put on a few strips and listen.

  I happen to know one who also has wood frames. He's one of those idiots who enjoys fiddling too (had a blast making his wood frames). At one time, he was conviced you were off your rocker. After experimenting with another of your nutty ideas, he discovered that your cracker had a chunk of cheese on it after all.
  
  I'll put a bug in his ear ;-)
  
  (At the very least, if he's (you didn't expect me to drop this second person bit did you?) really careful (as I know he is - anal probably describes him better) he will be able to use the stuff to neaten up the appearance of the backside of the speakers (that are far enough out into the room that the backs are seen when walking past them)). How's that for a parenthetically embellished sentence?

    Hey Waz,
    
    This guy is NUTS if he is using Dynamat to make things look better!!!
    
    My kind of guy to be sure.
    
    Really interested to know his findings especially in conjunction with the wood.
    
    It probably wont be as big as deal as it is with the stock frame, but I would be interested to hear the results.
    
    Thanks.

I was wondering about trying this along with actual wood frames. I'm also wondering about using something like Dynamat or maybe something softer as a constraining layer between the frames & ribbon tweeters.

  Rick,
  
  If I was to build wood frames (doubtful now I'll post a bit later- I have been busy) I definitely would use the dynamat too. There are other things you could try too...blue tack, rope caulk, 3m makes some stuff that absorbs vibration, and you can get some alternatives to dynamat at parts express.
  
  I could see it working well as a constrained layer.
