Tpreaves, I remember many years ago when this went around the last time. As you might expect, I tried it. Sorry, I heard no change at all, but hey it costs nothing. Everyone should try it.
Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?
Hey everyone, I am looking for some cheap tweaks, i just got done putting in a inner tube under my componets as an isolation device, and it works great. What else would you reccomend?..i am also thinking of an inner tube under the spkrs, with some sort of device to keep them stable. What do you think of Rf blockers..etc Please leave comments on your tweaks and how they turned out. i am looking forward to trying some. Thanks all

Cheaper than cheap: Turn off the lights. I don't know why this works (probably by removing distractions?), but I frequently find I enjoy the sound more with the lights out. I also find that cleaning my ears with one of the ear wax removing drops from CVS usually helps when my system doesn't sound as involving as usual. I recommend trying this if you've never done it before, especially if you wear earplugs occasionally. |
Just tried this and it worked like a charm... I've been wrestling with speaker placement of my rear ported speaker - toe-in the speaker and the bass is detailed, but the image sucks - the closer to no toe-in and the bass becomes boomy and muddy, but the image is great. Room size and WAF is the limiting factor! (no big damping screens allowed) Enter the PERKO boat cowl vent... Just attached this over the rear facing vent to direct energy downwards and VOILA - can toe-in for the best image and the bass is consistent http://www.nauticexpo.com/prod/perko/boat-cowl-vent-21871-50697.html Cost $55 - and they look nice - other makes/sizes are available from your local marine store Guess you could try firing it at any angle. but down seemed to work great Have tried damping the speakers rear port with foam, but the sound was not great - this solution allows the speaker to perform as designed Not really cheap - but less expensive than replacing the speaker |
