Hi wayne,

I'm just about ready to seal up the cabinets of my theater 4's and need to pick up the damping fill. You recommended 2" fiberglass insulation. Is this the stuff for home insulation in walls. I've seen it with foil vapor barriers. Is it sold with out? I assume I want it without? I just want to get the right thing. I also have a source for dacron batting in 1" thicknesses. Would two layers be OK and what is your opinion on the acoustic benefits or weaknesses of dacron as compared to the fiberglass? Lastly, would putting a cap of 1/2" wire mesh over the interior ends of the 3.5" ports to keep kid's toys out of the cabinets effect the sonics? Absolutely lastly, would you recommend using t-nuts and machine screws to attach the woofers or are wood screws adaquate? Finaly and absolutely lastly!?! Do you recommend any damping of the plastic/fiber horns for optimum sonics. I've read in the past of people doing all kinds of things to tweak the sound of horns.

Thanks!

Garland
