Eggbox Foam in a Guitar speaker
« on: August 30, 2008, 08:52:27 PM »
Am in the process of building a 2x12 cab and wondered what affect adding the eggbox foam would have??

Cheers

It will "deaden" the cab.

So, if the cab is rather too resonant for you, a bit of foam could help, to tighten it up just a bit.  But otherwise, or if too much is used, it will probably just make the cab sound rather dead and lifeless.

They were eggscruciatingly painful, although I must admit, some cracked me up. Still, on a forum like this it's to be eggspected.

I'm way down in the pecking order on this stuff and have eggactly nothing useful to bring to this discussion.

Getting a sensible answer now will be like trying to find hens teeth.

Back on topic...

If you're worried about noise and you neighbours, don't be; they can "coup" with it...

yeah, don't chicken out on cranking the thing.

you could mess with acoustic foam on one of the sides or the back - since this breaks up the reflected sound, it gives the impression of a 'bigger' cab.  Try it, got nothing to loose.  Just don't put foam on all sides or it will sound shitee, you need some reflective surfaces in there.
