Bronze Member Username: TmotorPost Number: 13 Registered: Oct-09 | Sound dampening? Why would you want your sound to be wet? |
|
Silver Member Username: SkdooleyRoanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 568 Registered: Oct-09 | damp·en --verb (used with object) 1.to make damp; moisten: to dampen a sponge. 2.to dull or deaden; depress: to dampen one's spirits. Would be the second definition. |

Silver Member Username: Wackzirth88K-town, Il U.S. Post Number: 367 Registered: May-09 | Ur not wrong in ur spelling, we understood wat u meant. I wouldn't pay any mind to comments like that. Just his attempt at funny and a fail at that. |

Silver Member Username: SkdooleyRoanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 572 Registered: Oct-09 | I posted the definition to show that you were correct when you said dampening. That is all. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13131 Registered: Dec-03 | on sound damping I have a couple comrades writing a sound damping tutorial as we speak. It should be up on the CAC boards to which I can link when it's posted within the next week or two I'd suspect. Till then, read this maybe? http://sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13132 Registered: Dec-03 | Also a basic starting point: get sound mat (second skin, eDead, whatever) and mat the doors (sheet metal, under the door panels) as well as (if you're inclined) take out the car seats and consoles, and remove the carpeting. mat the sheet metal floor boards, then replace the carpeting and seats etc. Headliner next, and mat the sheet metal ceiling of the car.. any large metal surfaces will resonate and waste energy. Next, move to the trunk and interior plastic panels, and use careful amounts of expanding foam to brace anything that can rattle that you can't secure with matting. After this, move to outside the car and use "dumdum" or that windshield black caulk material to secure things that rattle like your license plates. that's a start. |

Bronze Member Username: ItatumPost Number: 38 Registered: Jan-10 | WELL then i will just have to take it easy then lol. i apologize. i really like the spray foam idea. i finally got a good amp, and its been pretty hard trying to chase down were all the rattles are coming from. this sound damping stuff is one of the funnest things so far. on a side note were do you all go to check to see if you found all the rattles and things without driveing people nuts. maybe like a big parking lot or something like that? |

Silver Member Username: Sleste8Shelbyville, MI United States Post Number: 113 Registered: Mar-10 | quick question, my box is about done. and i was woundering if i could just paint it with a can of auto body undercoating? i figured it would give it a cool textured affect, and it's black so it shouldn't look too bad. but on the can it says its also a sound deadener. so my question is will it affect the acoustics of the box? or will it not even affect it because im just applying a few thin coats. thanks. |

Silver Member Username: Wackzirth88K-town, Il U.S. Post Number: 368 Registered: May-09 | Not one of those is a spelling error. He didn't use capitals or proper punctuation but it still makes sense. Zeke just ignore him. He's clearly just feeding off you getting mad. |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13138 Registered: Dec-03 | that's what trolls do. anyway the bed liner material will work fine, and it should help the box in that it will lower the resonant frequency by adding mass. |
|
Silver Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 393 Registered: Sep-09 | so what happens if you deaden the inside of a sub box? |
|
Silver Member Username: Sleste8Shelbyville, MI United States Post Number: 117 Registered: Mar-10 | ok wolf, cool. ^^and that was another question, what would that do? |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13144 Registered: Dec-03 | same thing. adds mass so it reduces resonance. This is why people have done things like make a sub box from 8" thick billet aluminum (Krell) or make one box inside another, and line the spae between with sand. The less the box moves or flexes, the less coloration the enclosure adds to the sound being produced by the speakers. |

Silver Member Username: Sleste8Shelbyville, MI United States Post Number: 119 Registered: Mar-10 | wow, that's very interesting. billet aluminum? not the average enclosure by far, haha |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2207 Registered: Apr-07 | I park random spots from time to time to test/search for rattles. Honestly if I'm driving and I hear a new one I'll just stop at the first large parking lot I cross for a few minutes. Comps are a good time/place. Or I have a large farm outside of town where people can't bother me. It's probably the best place for something like car audio tuning/testing. I think the audible difference of deadening a sub box is debatable, and for most people not worth the time/effort/cost. Adding additional layers of mdf seems like it would be more cost effective and beneficial for people with audible enclosure issues. |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego, California Post Number: 5711 Registered: Dec-06 | I got to witness that Krell sub at a boutique high-end audio shop here in town a few years ago. Insane. It can do 120dB @ 20Hz. And guess which 15" drivers it uses? TC Sounds HE-15's. |
