Re: To: Jon Risch

I call out several foam suppliers in my Acoustic note, see:

also there would be a lot more listed in the web site URL I reference that lists hundreds of acoustics related web sites.

Actually, a layer of fiberglass would work even better, and provide the least amount of reflections from the absorbing material for the tweeter. The 1" thick fiberglass from RS works just fine. If you were going to try and spatially align the drivers with a sloped baffle, and wanted the fiberglass or foam to absorb the cavity reflections, you would need to allow room for at least 6" of absorbing material around the periphery of the recessed cavity, and even more if you were going to use a midrange that went down kind of low.

For a 1" thickness of fiberglass, coever the entire baffle just short of the edges by 3/4", then place a speaker grille frame covered in grille cloth over the front of the entire baffle, and effectively cover up the fiberglass. With it there, the frame of the speaker grille will be invisible acoustically.
