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.

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.

Plus, I also agree with Sean's post above.
