OT Rubber mounting the speaker

[Cal Weldon]

It definitely adds damping though, more in thicker or multiple layers.

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)
