Well... was at factory this sunday... (was making up for lost time over 15th Aug + Rakhee) and I got an idea...

To do my very own dampening trial ..

- I decided to dampen the boot of my Viva using a sheet of SiltonMat V 1.1

The reasons were simple:

1) I would get first hand experience with the installation - and hence I could locate possible problems and weaknesses.

2) I could periodically check the dampening for adhesive strength etc.

3) The boot of my Viva was getting irritatingly noisy after 4 years of pounding from my Bass Tube....

Since I dont have any speakers installed in this panel, I decided to dampen all areas which I though will rattle/vibrate from bass...

I basically dampened all the areas where the Metal Body & Plastic panel actually make contact...

I dont know if I did a good job or a horrible one, since I have never done this before...Maybe I should have used more material......

ramie2400 · 21st August 2008, 19:14

Abhi i received the sample but yet need to apply and check it out,one thing i would like to tell you is its very very heavy,wonder if i use 12feet of the same on both the doors the door's will fall apart

.... rest i'll just install in and see the difference and let you know,by the way did you do the costing for 1feet how much will it come upto????

IronWolf · 23rd August 2008, 00:43

Abhi, I would suggest sending it to some of the Gurus in bangalore as well. Or have you already?

AbhiJ · 23rd August 2008, 00:58

Thank you for your replies...

Btw.. I already know that the Aluminum we tried in V 1.1 is useless for the application. It is too stiff/hard/thick and I am already hunting for a better suited material/fabric.

Too thick. Hard to smoothen out over surfaces. Workers stand the risk of getting nicks and cuts. Damping properties seem ok, and the adhesive seems to be holding up fine.

AbhiJ · 9th September 2008, 23:24

Update: Got the new aluminum sheet.

You guys wont believe how hard it was to find. The thickness is 1/4 that of V 1.1. Not cuts, and can be cut using scissors easily.

Still working on bettering the compound though.

rohan_fonseca · 24th November 2008, 11:54

Abhij any updates? Waiting eagerly.

Hashim · 24th November 2008, 12:19
