Yes, in multiple layers that might apply to almost anything. It's 45 mils thick and compresses to around half that when bolting a driver so it's damping factor is reduced considerably by the time you get the density gain. I think that's what I was trying to say, so really it's acting like an air seal.

So I have to disagree a little.

Not really, I think we are on the same page.

You can't use it to hang a speaker though.

By hanging a speaker do we mean Flying a speaker or hanging drivers or what exactly do we mean here? I'm curious because I am well aware of it's strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks guys, originally yes I was talking about floating the speaker on it, but after reading GM's description of how a speaker should be locked down as tight and as solid as can be with as much weight as possible I see that as usual my thoughts are still 180 degrees away from what should be done. I like the rubber gasket idea though. (thumbs up)
