A good "LOL" for audio guys
About a year ago i decided to move to a 3-way front stage setup. This meant that i needed to seal off the midrange from the midbass to ensure they wouldn't interfere with eachother's operation. The only problem is that the location of the window motor made a traditional cylinder-style baffle/enclosure impossible.
I wasn't really in the mood to build a fiberglass an enclosure for the rear of my custom speaker mount so instead I half-assed it. I found that a small set of plastic salad bowls fit the area i needed nicely and screwed them into the speaker plate.
I sealed theem with a layer of hot glue and silicone. It worked....at least for a little while. The other day i noticed my passenger speakers were making a rattling noise at certain frequencies that sounded very much like loose plastic. I ordered a set of professional grade baffles of similar design from ebay and will bee using those to perminantly fix the problem.
Lesson learned: Salad bowls and speakers do not go together.
