Interesting you're using solid surface for your rings for your components. Any benefit?

it's debatable both ways, but my belief is mount as solidly as possible. the purpose of mounting a driver is to prevent movement of the driver during impact. How would decoupling help this? Any of the reasons I've read FOR decoupling all were because of door resonance issues or whatever, if the door is the problem, then treat the door, don't compromise the performance of the driver for the sake of not wanting to treat the actual problem (door) Hope that made at least a little sense?? The test I did to convince myself of this was, I took an 8 inch midbass driver, ran it free air with the magnet up against a couch cushion (the small edge) ...then I pounded some michael jackson through it and listened. then I did the same test against a wall in a door way and the difference was huge. Some might argue that it wasn't the materials "bracing" the driver that made the difference but the materials absorbing/deflecting the rear waves. Either way, with my pathetic little test, I managed to convince myself about the NOT decoupling a driver. |
DUUUUUUUDDEEEEEE - I've been waiting for this since the summer...must of been a slow day at the office :p

Not sure how to answer that, the reason I did it this way is that I don't believe door speakers should be decoupled whatsoever.

Either way, with my pathetic little test, I managed to convince myself about the NOT decoupling a driver. I noticed you threaded it. How did you find that worked? Did you ever think of using a metal sleeve and epoxying it into place for your speaker mounting points? I've got small ones here that accept 8/32 machine thread screws that we use for when we mount stainless steel kitchen sinks. I thought of doing the same for a set of rings when the install was being done on my convertible, but being busy and a little lazy at the time I just machined them out of mdf. Maybe I'll see what I have for scraps and machine one up. There maybe another project/toy car in the works. |
