Foamy stuff for speakers

[caspros]

Anyone know where to get that foamy that goes inside of your doors for speakers ?

In Wellington ?

Do you mean foamy or fluffy? Fluffy as in the stuff people have in sub boxes?

Its called Dacron if thats what you are after and all it is is just pillow stuffing, go to spot light or somewhere like that and they have it in rolls, good stuff at sound deadening.

Oh yeah good point. I meant stuff to go around the speakers ? So foam ? We're going to try and shoehorn some speakers into my friends M5, and suspect we'll need some.

A good car hi-fi shop should have heaps of the stuff.

Can you let me know what you got? I'm still actually wondering what it is that you were talking about?

[spark_38]

Is it this stuff?

[caspros]

That's it !

[spark_38]

Is it any good? I may get some for the boot, reduce those rattles

[caspros]

I actually don't think we used it like you're supposed to.

We used it between the speaker and the door. Because there was wood there.

Which is possibly confusing.

[Scoobydoo]

Yeah thats sound deadening. You use it to make large panels more rigid so they don't rattle. Also helps in sealing doors to get a better enclosure for improved frequency response. AKA more midbass.

You can get foam like the stuff shown in the previous picture from most independently owned computer stores ( Not Harvey's or Dick Smith Electronics, smaller local outlets )

The stores get tooooones of the stuff when they order in computer parts like motherboards and video cards.

I got a whole bunch of the foam when I was putting in my speakers in

They should just give it to you as normally they hiff it out.

Give that a try ;D
