Replacing sound proofing in cabniets


I have an old set of speakers I am bring back to life. I have replaced many of the drivers. My next step is replacing the thick cloth material inside the cabinets. Must be used for sound proffing, keeping the sound from bouncing about.
Just curious what people use for this. Carpet pad? Any suggestions sure be appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi Tunes4me,

The spray may be useful to damp the interior of a component's chassis. It would mainly damp gross ringing of the chassis but it can't absorb a large amount of vibration or even damp ringing as effectively as some other applied coatings or materials. The damping spray would be considered only PART of an overall scheme to eliminate vibration.

Best,

Barry
I have used it in a few cabinets. In the grander scheme of things, it is just about useless on a well designed cabinet. Other than to help seal any seams / cracks and help keep the cabinet "air-tight" if sealed, the benefits / results are far out-weighed via other simpler and less messy methods. Sean

Hi Tunes4me,

Bright Star speakers did use multiple layers of compliant ceramic and a special damping compound that I developed that were quite effective when applied correctly to cabinet panels, driver baskets and crossover components.
