[QUOTE="sailor, post: 1145751, member: 1530"] I use a product called Sikaflex 221 to damp the basket of pressed steel. Also apply it where the magnet meets the frame. Sika is available in different grades. The 221 is general purpose and sticks anything to anything. This is what they use to hold your windscreen in place. Big drivers benefit the most. I am listening to some cheap stamped 15" Eminence drivers which I treated with Sika and also glued some 8mm felt inside the stamped frame to prevent reflection back to the cone. The patent Sika had has now expired so now there are many similar products and cheaper but as I have not tried I can't recommend any. But why? I find a slightly cleaner sound, not much but noticeable and is worth doing. [/QUOTE]
