I hope Dave at Planet 10 doesn’t mind that I am posting this question here too. I’m sure he’s busy and I thought maybe others can benefit from the answer to this question and/or share their experiences with similar builds. (Dave, ignore my email lol)
I am building an Em-Ken using a 10” Eminence Beta10cx using plans Dave created for me back in 2021.
Basically, how much dampening is supposed to go into this thing? Dave’s plans say line the walls with 12mm felt and stuff the cabinet with UltraTouch, but all of the newer Fonken/Onken plans say line the walls or stuff the cabinet, not both. So, which is it?
If I did stuff it in addition to lining with felt, how much stuffing? 1lb per cubic foot like standard practice?
The plans say line the holey brace with lower density felt, but does that mean cover the holes? Or line around the holes?
I got the wood cut except for the front baffle as I’m trying to decide if I want dark cedar to offset the light maple cabinet or should I use curly maple veneer on the baffle and keep it all the same color? Hard decisions…lol….
