Re: [DTXpress] Re: My triggered remo kit with DTX bits on a tennis ball riser!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2003-09-30 by Vernon Graner

As was mentioned in another thread, it might be a good idea to line the
inside surfaces of the unit with some type of absorbent substance to keep
the to parallel surfaces from "ringing" at a harmonic frequency.

 Maybe after cutting out the holes, cut a piece of carpet with holes the
size of the tennis balls and cover the inner surfaces with it. Or maybe
wrap the whole thing in cloth and then fill the space between the two
plywood pieces with packing peanuts or something of that nature to
consume the open air between the boards.

 I sure would like to hear the results of one of these platforms, but I
haven't built one ... even though I'm on the 2nd floor in my house, no
one has complained... :D

PSD: Could be cause all the kids rooms are upstairs and the room is on
the opposite end of the house from the master bedroom, so there's no one
to complain but the cats... :)
