Hi guys,

A post from a few days ago by Tofo mentions using a blanket of fiberglass hung from a cross brace to improve the sound of certain drums in the Theater 4. I am curious because I feel perhaps the sound with my Theater 4s could stand a bit more impact from drums. I have always wondered if my use of dense felt carpet padding against the cabinet walls under the 2" or so of poly batting may have over damped the boxes and dulled the drum "kick". The insulation is placed in the recommended locations. Do you think I should rip out the carpet padding and just go with the looser stuff i.e. fiberglass or poly batting? And can you comment on the purpose and effect of the blanket?
FWIW, my cabinets are baltic birch front,rear,top, and bottom and MDF sides.

Thanks!

Garland
