I am not a fan of in walls at all but you've done a really nice clean job. It looks great.

For that sound bleed there is a product by Dynamat that works amazing!

DYNABOX...

A shop i go to has a display for them. They have a speaker playing real loud. You place the Dynabox over it & you almost cant hear it. They are pricey but in your case priceless. They also improve the sound on your side of the wall by creating a back box that obsorbs the rear wave creating less distortion. I wouldnt do any in-wall without them!!

Room looks great!!
Id get the VTF3-MK4.... Killer sub!!

How do you like your MBM? I love mine! I run it in sealed mode so i stuffed polyfill inside the MBM. It cleaned up & tightened the mid-bass. I had to turn it up 1dB more but made a noticable improvement!!

I have seen the Dynabox and just have not pulled the trigger. I will give it a try. From what I saw, it looked like a good thing to have for inwalls. I appreciate hearing from someone who has had them.

MBM - I like it. Had it in the family room at one point and it was awesome. Now in this smaller room, I am going to have to keep adjusting it to get it dialed in right. Right now it is boomy with the power down a good bit. I have it and the sub hooked up to SMS-1 and I may be trying to hard with all that. Interesting about the stuffing. I may give that a try.

Sounds interesting. If you want to clear the rear waves why not use rockwool?

timoteo,
DynaBox or En-wall? I see on the Dynamat site the Dyanbox is for ceiling speakers, but I would guess it could be used for in-walls.

Thanks.

Got a Christmas gift early. Have 2 Clark Synthesis Transducers TST209, with a Dayton 240w sub amp. Installed them but not without a lot of trial and error. There is no good place to put them on the Palliser power seats. In fact, I could not find a place for them anywhere without raising the seats 3 inches off the floor. Inside, the reclining rails took up the sides and the electric motor took up the middle. I put the on the bottom brace but it is only 1 inch above the floor thanks to the rubber feet. I think we are going to have to build a platform. Right now I have it all hooked up and made a frame out of 2 x 4 to keep the chiars raised for now. The TST209 are awesome.

I also have the rubber feet which seem to help.

We may be taking one of the TST209 back and getting the next step up - the Silver. With the two seats being separate, the one with one arm rest shakes a bit more than the one that has two armrest. The seat with two has more points of contact with the floor and is heavier. Thinking about putting the silver on it to see if we can get them a little closer in performance.

Nah. Too easy.

Whoops i think your right, the DynaBox IS for ceiling speakers. The En-Walls i believe are for just that, in walls.

The Rockwool yes will help with the rear wave not distorting the front wave. However the DynaBox/EnWall is made of heavy rubber that absorbs sound. Inside the rubber "box" is acoustical foam as well. The combination of these 2 material almost completely illiminates sound from bothering anybody in adjacent rooms. The OP mentioned that his daughters room was right behind the speaker wall. The Rockwool would barely help if any with sound getting into her room. The DynaMat products are incredibly effective with isolating the sound therefore keeping her room MUCH quieter.

Are you running your MBM sealed?

I took apart an old pillow & stuffed the polyfill into the MBM's port. I shoved it into all the corners, back by the amp & around/inside the port. Then i put the port plug back in & set it to sealed mode. It really tightened up the MBM!!

Another tip since your in such a small room is to keep the port plugged but have the switch set to "Vented". This will give it a steeper roll-off & give it less boom. Even if you have to adjust the volume up a little after these 2 things it will definately tighten up the response.

The only reason HSU didnt fill it completely is because it cant be filled if you have the port open.

So fill it up loosely with Polyfill, plug the port, set it to "Vented" on the plate amp & give it a go. Let us know if that helps!! Like i said, it will be a little quieter but turning it up to compensate is all thats needed if at all.

Hope it helps you out!!!

in-walls have always been a good concept looks great good job!

I stuffed the MBM and it did tighten up and is no longer boomy which was the main issue. I need to keep working on dialing it in. I have an sms-1 which I think I will keep on the pb10 and just try to dial in the MBM using the test tone disc.

Thanks Timoteo..... good stuff!
