  • It appears to have been removed, I can't find it either. Basically, it involved tightening all the screws (from the inside), and silicone caulking all joints where air could escape. Do not overtighten the screws holding the speakers, or you will warp the frames. Sealing the cab seams gives the speakers a better "cushion" to move against, reducing cone "flop", and resulting in a tighter focus / low end. Hope that helps.

  • It does sound slightly more focussed. When you mention caulking that means layering the back of the baffle board with white poly filler to seal any gaps??

  • @5150VanAlien No, you don't want to caulk the back. If you take the back off, you'll see joints between the sides and front baffle. These are the joints to caulk. Also, tighten up all the screws holding the cabinet together. Search for "Bob Molton Tone Secrets" for the video.

  • I heard the difference but did you tighten up all the interior screws as well? Did you caulk the handles too? Did you add an extra screw to the back board to the center post? Have you tried filling the cabinet with carpet padding?

  • @1971SuperLead Yes, No, Yes, No. I'm happy with the bass response at this point.

  • @1971SuperLead Yes, tightened all interior screws. No, I did not caulk the handles, they seemed to be pretty well sealed. No, I did not add an extra screw to the back, the one screw is sufficient and I did not want to alter the look of the cab from the outside. No, I did not put carpet padding in the cab, I only did the mods that Bob Molton suggested in his video.

  • honestly i like it before the caulking, sounds more mean to me

  • @hawg427

    cool

  • @MrGuitarandvocals Whitebox makes good cabs too. Designed in the UK & made in the USA.

  • Can you refer me to the Molton video you mentioned? I can't seem to find it.

  • Sounds a bit more single-coily after caulking.

  • @utubefloyd Oh thanks! 

  • @1971SuperLead

    So the cialis is working for you now?

  • @1971SuperLead

    Don't have a screw problem - I wouldn't buy mass produced shit like Marshall
