    Default The newest craze in acoustic absorbtion!!!

    This must be the new fad in acoustic absorption. Take a good, hard look.



    Or is this a new way to store TP? Useless post, I know. I just figured that some of you might get a kick out of it. Some peoples' kids.....

    TP quality makes a difference. Hearing is believing. Charmin ultra-soft produces a wider sound stage than cheapy single-ply.

    Thats a great Idea. When listening to a very good emotional record you can use the TP to dry your eyes, or when you start adding up how much you have spent on your system you can do the same:D
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    Not new at all. In fact I've heard that further testing showed that it works best if it has been used.

    Lagbolts do wonders for flooring, and have been show to flatten out dips in the freq response from 12-14 khz.

    I, myself, prefer JBWeld.

    Make sure it's 2-ply, or second order harmonics will suffer.

    you mean I just spent 50 bucks on acoustic foam for my sub, and I could have just wrapped it in TP? I've been ripped
