Still tweaking here.
I would not be able to sleep if I did not try this out. other stuff I have been trying it on has quite the results, even with the Dynamat there at the same time.
So... up late and did a fast 15 minute tweak.
And it is non invasive and reversible should someone want to, but doubt they'd reverse it.
See link to relevant Sorbothane thread a post or two before this one.
And this is done to the mod pictured in post # 1909 above.
I had no options of adding this inside the cups on the baffle rears at all since it is loaded with Newplast topped with the Creatology thin adhesive felt.
The area seen in the photo is very close to the driver anyhow which is ideal here.
Note that the baffle face already had Dynamat Extreme top covered with the thin Creatology adhesive felt.
After slicing away the areas for the 1cm Sorbothane pieces I used stickier tape pressed on and off to remove most of the gross gooey felt adhesive that was left on the now exposed Dynamat surface.
Important that the 3M adhesive of the Sorb adheres to as much of a clean surface as possible.
Note i kept them close but not touching each other so they act independently.
I find very little issue with the height as it is only 1/10 inch thick so nothing significant.
For those that do bother to try this out and do not have the Dynamat overlay and a clean baffle surface to use it will be even less height obviously
========= I hardly used much of a 6 x 6 inch sheet and that was relatively cheap ==========
***One final thought that may or may not be irrelevant=
I could have removed the Dynamat itself in those areas and directly bonded to the baffle. Hmmmm.
Likely not as easy to get a clean surface though.
What my intuition is telling me here :
Since the vibes are being nailed a bit already by the Dynamat,
and for all intents and purposes we can consider that Dynamat an integral bonded part of that baffle now, maybe it is best to use the Sorbo as the icing on the cake and the final vibe control as seen above.
This is likely the case I don't want to overthink it right now.
Once again it seems so far on stuff to add something Dynamat and the Newplast do not. I can hear something to this effect now but need more time on this.
Anyone with thoughts on this?
I will be re-tweaking a less treblish version of this mod soon , including the rear driver square bass bump tweak of removing the backing material over 2 grids ( exact same tuning on the insides but a less treble level driver variant ) so it might show better in that one.
Or at least the owner can maybe report back with some minor impressions.
I bet he is stunned.
Maybe he will prove me wrong.
Testing for a bit here but for certain it has improved.
yes it has.
