Sand would be good too, but it gets kinda heavy. I guess in the little horns it isn't too heavy though. But another good thing about expansion foam in addition to its light weight is that it puts pressure on the panels and preloads them, making them stiff.

'Morning All, Well I bought a can of the "Big Gap Filler" on Friday and that night met with some DIY audio people who told me horror stories of the stuff pulling plaster board away from 2 X 4's. I returned it on Saturday and a construction friend of mine gave me a 50 pd bag of silca sand. After hauling THAT around for a day, I decided it was too much weight and returned it to him. Late last night I settled on a can of "Small Gap Filler" guaranteed NOT to bend your window frames. I'm going to try it today after work. I also had a chance to make some bracing for the horn mouth and other spots in the horn that I feel would resonate. Some time this week I hope to find time to glue everything in place. I appreciate evryones suggestions and help. A major catastrophy was avoided through the sharing other people's knowledge and experience. Thanx all.
