Tweakers' Asylum Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ. |
|
A friend of mine placed some acoustic foam about 1.5 inches thick on the back of his speakers.Then placed a sheet of MDF 1\2 inch thick on top of that.He then screwed the MDF to the box lightly with the foam wedged between the MDF and rear of box.The foam he used was rather stiff not very soft.The idea is to stop unwanted vibrations/sound coming off box and reflecting into room.If you feel the back of a box when playing some vibrate more than others depending on area and internal bracing and power of drivers.After hearing the difference I am doing all mine especally the subs.I think it is an excellent tweak and not expensive.
