Re: dampening material

24.165.24.201

To design your enclosure, did you use factory supplied parameters or did you measure the Thiele/Small parameters for yourself? Factory figures can be off by 50%, so unless you measure your own drivers, you can't be sure how accurate the parameters are. Either way, the actual Q of the enclosure needs to be measured and adjusted if necessary, to achieve the desired results. Your calculated figures may be close enough, but there's no way to be sure unless you measure.

You should use damping material like fiberglass, AcoustaStuff, or any of several other products available to control standing waxes and/or adjust the Q of a closed box woofer or mid range.

By the way, your enclosure volume is .273 of what? Liters? Cubic feet?
