Hartke 410TP with internal insulation?

Sign in to disble this ad
Just wondering how I can fatten up the low end on my 410TP. Volume is fine, just wanna add a little more to my drop-c tuning. Anyone ever tried adding cotten, fiberglass, sound-deadening material to the back of their ported cab?

Just a random thought I had...ready with my flamesuit on...

Well, you can't get what isn't there....but...if it isn't crossbraced and fully lined, it should be. That much absolutely will help you get the most out of what is there. If it isn't braced well enough, energy will be wasted resonating the panels, brace it, and that energy will then come out as sound. If it isn't lined, internal reflections will give choppy mid response, line it, and it'll have a smoother sound.

Cheap stuff you can do yourself in an afternoon.
