sundownz Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I am going to start putting corner pieces in my box as well as adding resin. I will be tracking my gains from these things here. I will do each corner with a 45 degree piece first (ripped 4x4 lumber). I will also try pieces that are cut into an arc (same 4x4 but with an arc cut) to see which is louder. This will be done one corner at a time. This may take a while but I am going to start today. Base-Line score from the end of my dampener log : 155.2 dB @ 48 Hz --- First piece in place - screwed in with tape along the top as that edge was rough: This resulted in a GAIN : --- I tested 49 Hz as well to make sure my frequency did not change - I metered 155.2 dB @ 49 Hz. I also gained 0.1 dB here compared to before but it is still not as loud as 48 Hz.

sundownz Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 While I'm in the area I tried something random - metal taping all around the plastic trim piece at the bottom. I didn't have enough time remaining today to take the whole box out and do another 45 piece so I wanted to try something No change... but at least my 155.3 is consistant : There was alot of odd noise on the meter this time, though... not sure why, maybe a fluke.
