John Stockman (custom) > Speaking of overkill! Here's my bright idea of actually coating the frame and magnet of the driver, and the back of the terminal, with Cascade Audio Engineering's VB-1 damping compound. I use this stuff on the interior walls of all my cabinets to reduce resonance, why not put some on the frame/magnet? This is more of a "budget" driver, so it doesn't have a thick, cast basket like some more expensive woofers. The frame is just stamped steel, not exactly ideal. I read in one of Zalytron's catalogs how they sometimes coated the frames and magnets of certain woofers with some kind of boro-silicate stuff, for its' ability to reduce the vibrations of the woofer frame. No measurements were provided, just the consensus from listeners that the bass/mid-range clarity and smoothness had improved enough to be noticed. So, here it is, 2 coats for 1/8" thickness. It sticks like glue, so it won't come off...it can't hurt, right? Yes, I'm a total speaker dork!
