In Reply to: RE: New Break-through for BOSE 901 Owners !!...... posted by John Elison on July 6, 2012 at 13:48:22:
As someone who has built my own kayak from wood, fiberglass, and Epoxy, I have a great deal of experience with Epoxy. When it comes to Bose 901s, I can't think of anything more deserving of the best - and lots of it!
To that end--and to begin with, for that matter--I recommend "MAS" resin and hardeners:
MAS Epoxy - expensive, but good
Your idea of applying Epoxy in the voice-coil gaps of all the drivers is a good "backup" measure, just to be safe, but what I have in mind is a more impressive sort of Bose 901 Epoxy Tweak. I say fill those drivers to the brim with custom thickened Epoxy! Different fillers for different colors (WAF, and all that, no doubt); fine wood dust for brown, graphite powder for black (and extreme durability under duress), and silica (perfect for our favorite audiophiles, as it has excellent dielectric properties).
To apply Ultimate Bose 901 Epoxy Tweak®:
1) Turn Bose 901 so that speaker cones are facing the sky (for many of us, that's "up"). Mix large batches of Epoxy with thickener(s) of choice (recommend slow hardener here, as fast hardener on large batches is contraindicated). Fill those babies up to the brim (don't worry about the previously tweaked dust caps - they're protected by Elmer's!). Let cure at least overnight.
2) Crank it.
