Memory foam as dampener

#1 Post by y2kindyz »

Hello, getting ready to head to Wally World tomorrow and get a matriss topper for dampening on a pair of jack 15's. Would memory foam do the same, better to worst as a dampener for this box?

Thanks in advance,

Oscar

Mattress topper is fine. Use that...
Built:
DR 250: x 2 melded array, 2x CD horn, March 2012 plans.
T39's: 4 x 20" KL3010LF , 2 x 28" 3012LF.
WH8: x 6 with melded array wired series/parallel.
Bunter's Audio and Lighting "like"s would be most appreciated...

Memory foam has much higher density than standard foam and can result in an over-damped cabinet. Not recommended.

That is what I was thinking, but I have an extra one that we are not using from our old RV that we sold.

Thank you for the quick responses,
