Re: dampening material

Wow- thats about all I can say to you. Your level of enthusiasm inspires me. And don't worry about being verbose in your thermo lesson; I found it very interesting.
I was aware of the idea of an acoustic suspension, but I was unaware that it was linked to the thermal aspect of the speaker. A few questions remain though...
You said that I should't leave the damening material out of my, by now, very involved equations, less I neglect the acoustic suspension benefits. I don't understand where I am susposed to account for it though. You said that all you do is fill the box completely, changing the Q by changng the density. Did you design the box 6% smaller and with a Q 10-12% higher? I do still intend to use dampening material, so wouldn't experimenting with the right amounts to find the right Q still take care of the thermo aspects, as long as there is dampening material present?
