sam48879 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 How possible is it to place a 18" sub in a barrel with Dynamat inside to keep the echo out of it and port the back side? Could this idea be done or not at all possible? just a late morning idea i came up with what does everyone think? Oh and before someone says what about it rolling u could tack weld some flate plate under it to hold it in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see it! Go ahead and do it and then show us! LOL... I'm sure you could fabricate it...So yes it "could" be done...Sounding good is another story though...

Big P Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 i would pore fiber glass ressen on the inside then dynamat the out side. Or even linex it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Yes people do this quite often, never seen it done with 18's though. Normally its used in a quarter wave transmission line though, and normally in home theater because there are little to no space restrictions.

jcm1689 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 i would pore fiber glass ressen on the inside then dynamat the out side. Or even linex it! x2 do a couple of layers of fiberglass on the inside and if its still resonating after that add the dynamat Quote R.I.P.

sam48879 Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Okay so i think i might try this if everyone seems to think it can be done it sounds like fun! I'm going to start out small first 8" sub possibly or a 10" .... How big of a barrel is the question.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 It's exactly the same as a normal box, just a different shape...So treat it like that.
