Low thickness Nylon stockings (AKA woman socks) work well for keeping messy materials inside, are cheap and sonically transparent, better than most "speaker cover" materials.

Yarn works ok for damping, but it's a bit dense for many uses.
Yes, dampened T50rp kinda sounds like LCD-2, except it doesn't have HUGE subbass, only ok subbass. Too small driver for that.

Just curious if there's any update on the commercial version of this mod?  I'm currently very much enjoying the v1.0 mod, based on Tyll's video and template (although with off-brand 2mm foam and felt since Joanne's is a lot closer to home than Michael's).  That said, my skills with an exacto are shoddy at best, and I am looking forward to a cleanly made commercial version. 

Thanks again to anax, purrin and all of the others who have helped to create, refine and spread the word regarding this excellent mod!

Quick question pirates. With the version 1.0 modification I used 2mm creatology foam with a layer of felt on top of that. Now with the version 2.0 is the felt still used in conjunction with the 2mm foam or is it no longer used with the anti-slip mat?

Thank you.

Went Rabid Dawg recently with help from Stapsy with the material. Thanks Stapsy! This is some good shit! For me, I had little trouble with the shelf liner by using very small pieces of Scotch double sided tape to hold it at strategic points.

On the sound, I find that I'm using a lot less EQ than before the mod was done. The mids could go louder and had somewhat less grain then before. Will give it more time before I try other materials :D

Awesome, will the anax 3.0 be prepackaged? I have a pair of refurb crutchfield hd800s coming in about 2 weeks and I would like to try the anax 2.0 but I'm not very good with crafts and stuff. Would anyone be willing to use their extra materials to make me one?

Edit: I Read this.

Thx guys.  There are still a few minor nit picks I want to iron out.  The good news is I think there is still a bit more room for improvement and refinement.  The bad news is I'm considering bringing this a commercial as a kit w/ three selectable levels for user preference.  So further pics and templates will likely be withheld to the general public.  There will be accommodations made for Ye Pirates of course!

Sweet... I'll be hiding in a cave with Anax 2.0-HD800's, some dominican cigars, and this bloody paper that needs to be finished by mid-november.

Any decisions on pricing?

Anax, could you tell us more about the three selectable levels for user preference?

Question for those using anax 2.0: do you prefer the neutral or warm ring? I prefer the warm ring with the stock cable atm. Might change when I get my zu cable tomorrow.
