Some pics:
Braces, not glued, before damping, from bottom of speaker
Braces, from top
GAF Ruberoid rubber modified bitumen roofing membrane. See previous post for product details. Get the plain unglued version for hot tar application. not the heat and stick version.
10 x 1 meter x 0.1" thick, cut in half, flattening in the sun. Like my roses?
Damping bitumen installed. What a bitch of a job. But it works!
Detail of damping and braces, rear bass horn, looking from top. The bass drivers are separated by the narrow brace closest. No damping is needed near the woofers due to their frames' rigidity.
Braces are damped both sides. Bottom of front horn is not damped, due to no room to install it, and front baffle is already two layers of dissimilar wood, ply and MDF, laminated together with glue.
Brace and damping detail, looking from top.
This is the side (aka lid) with the damping. The internal baffle edges and braces will glue to the undamped strips and holes. And yes, it fits! After a bit of trimming. On the second speaker I was able to mark the location of internal baffles on the lid better than the first speaker, so the damping of the second lid will be easier, because the lines are accurate.
