Sound insulation/foam for closed-back combo amplifier?

[Erlend_G]

Hello everyone,

I am the proud owner of a Carlsbro Sherwood R60 closed-back combo amplifier,

2x8", made for acoustic guitar/mic/monitor purposes.


It is a closed back design, no port- and completely lacks any insulation/dampening foam inside.

Because of this, it is very woofy at 500hz, and would greatly benefit from some dampening.


I found a good deal on raw sheeps wool- would this be a good choice?

Thanks,

-Erlend

Not sure if you would like the wooly tone that would be achieved by your initial plan.

Raw sheeps wool is an organic product (dirty, bugs, etc.) and will actually go bad/rancid in about a year. I wouldn't use that inside a guitar cab. Heavy rock wool/roxul insulation works great for sound dampening and is pretty cheap - I'd look at something along those lines.

Regular foam, a small pillow, even an old T shirt bunched up

I am sorry, but that was pure awesome....
