Hi All
I am hoping someone can help with a query I have over IMF transmission line stuffing/insulation. I am planning on a building a DIY set of IMF SACM's. Well they won't be true SACM's as I will be using a kef B139, B110, t27 and coles 4001G with the falcon acoustics uprated crossovers. I have managed to get the dimensions of each section of the cabinet and although I am certainly no carpenter I think (fingers crossed) that I can construct the cabinets but it might take me some time! My real query is over stuffing of the transmission tunnel itself. All pictures and info. I can find seem to indicate the trnsmission tunnel isn't actually stuffed at all merely lined with the acoustic foam (egg crate) type. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Also does every square inch need covering with the acoustic foam internally as some cross section pictures seem to show only some of the panels with acoustic foam. Hopefully someone is an IMF expert and can help me with this query.
I was also planning to paint all internal panels with a bitumen roof paint prior to installing the foam to help deaden them. Is this a good or bad idea?
Thanks in advance,
Nick
