I am in the middle of building 2Pi tower speakers and have a question about insulation lining placement. My question is the general consensus on this forum is that one should line only one end of the box in a "live side - dead side" setup. However, when I look at other speaker designs, people tend to line the insulation on all sides of a speaker box. Is there any technical reason for the difference or is this what people have come to accept as a result of experimentation? Thanks, Norbert

High density fiberglass acoustical tile works nice. Flip it "backwards" so the smooth surface can be glued to the box with a nice thick layer of something like PL200. Helps damp the panels and does an outstanding job of soaking up midrange reflections without taking up a lot of volume and the insulation remains very stable afterward. Fiberglass duct board would probably be fine too but might be a little harder to bond. Dan
