Matt's Statement Thread

[BeerParty]

OK, a couple more foam questions. First, is there a recommended way to cut the 1" tunnel foam at a 45 degree angle other than a sharp razor? Seems like kind of a stupid question but I am a bit of a perfectionist and I will drive myself nuts trying to get a clean and accurate cut.

A sharp razor should be fine, the angles don't have to be perfect (mine certainly were not). A suggestion - use a fresh blade when making the angle cuts - its much easier to get a clean cut with a fresh blade.

Also, I mounted a crossover panel on each side of each Monitor and they take up a fair amount of space, as in the majority of the sides in front of the brace. Will foam on the top/bottom and brace area be enough or should I look into moving my crossovers?

Sounds almost exactly like what I did, and I asked the same question in my thread. The answer was that the location and lack of foam in the crossover area should not adversely impact the sound.

Finally, I could look this up but since I am asking other questions here I will ask this one as well. How far back do I hold the wedge foam from the baffle? How about the tunnel foam?

If I remember correctly, the foam behind the woofer and the tunnel foam should be about 1 inch back from the front baffle to keep it from blocking the area around the drivers.
