Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend?


Hey everyone, I am looking for some cheap tweaks, i just got done putting in a inner tube under my componets as an isolation device, and it works great. What else would you reccomend?..i am also thinking of an inner tube under the spkrs, with some sort of device to keep them stable. What do you think of Rf blockers..etc Please leave comments on your tweaks and how they turned out. i am looking forward to trying some. Thanks all

I had a problem with the squawker horn in my Khorns being too shrill. The lower frequencies were great, but the frequencies above 2000Hz were 15 to 20dB above normal. Biamping or volume adjustments of the squawker would not solve the problem, because the difference between the low and highs of the squawker would still be too much. The cheap tweak was to put a blanket over the squawker horn. The density of the blanket blocks out the higher frequencies while allowing the lower frequencies to pass on through. Experimentation is required to get the blanket with the right density. I could not believe the positive effect of this simple tweak. This negates the need for expensive wall treatments such as sound diffusers and absorbers
