Speaker damping / stuffing

[iansr]

Are you an experienced speaker builder? If so then please tell me what your favourite stuffing material is.

Natural sheep's wool.
Measurably better.
It's easy to get now as it's sold as an eco friendly alternative to rockwool in construction.

Can you recommend a supplier?

I used this
https://www.thermafleece.com/
It's nice to know it's british and not been shipped round the globe 3 times!
A roll is pretty much a lifetime supply!

Annoyingly, fibreglass. It measures much better than sheeps wool in the tests I've done.

I like rockwool (fibreglass batts). I've tried dacron and wool too, and I've always gone back to rockwool for sealed systems.

Hi....1/2" Convoluted sleeping cushion clincher from Walmart, the standard froth, not adaptable padding. Fiberglass is OK in case they are fixed nooks, I wouldn't utilize it for a ported taxi as the filaments will come out the ports and they are an aggravation.

Thanks guys, I’ve bought some thermafleece, partially influenced by the fact the speaker have a port and small fibres could escape.

Secure the fleece so it doesn't get anywhere near the port tube.

Thanks. They are TL speakers so the port is in fact a slot and there is no tube.
