Where to buy 80 PPI reticulated foam?

[saschagabor]

I'm not holding my breath, but there might be some foam coming my way soon. However, if that doesn't work out, I might have to settle for (at least for the time being) a relatively small sheet of 65 PPI.

I'm in no hurry quite yet, so I'll bide my time for now.

I believe it's time for an update.

It proved difficult to procure a smaller amount of 12 mm thick 80 PPI reticulated foam for a decent price, so I ended up ordering quite a lot.

This means that I'll be able to offer precut foam for others interested in building WD25a/t or other aperiodic cabinets. I'll precut a bunch of strips to 215 * 38 * 12 mm, but I'll also be able to offer a larger slab for custom dimensions.

I'll put up an ad under "For Sale" when everything is ready, but if you're interested then you're welcome to drop me a line.

I've been sporadically posting up ads for foam in the 'for sale' section, but since they get purged regularly (which is mostly a good thing) I just wanted to say that I still can offer foam for those who need it.

So, until I'm posting to say that I'm all out of foam, you're welcome to drop me a line. Just tell me how much you need and where you'd like it shipped to, and I'll get back to you with an offer.

Hello,

I am building a pair of WD25A loudspeakers so am writing to ask if you are still able to supply a piece of 80 PPI reticulated foam for the ports.
Thanks in anticipation,
Graham

Send SASCHA a PM. I bought some from him last month for my 25TEx.No hassle.

I can still supply foam and I've just answered your PM. Sorry for the late reply, but I didn't get an email saying that this thread had been updated. Luckily VantheMan sent you in the right direction, because I got the PM notification

PS: Looking forward to seeing a photo of your finished speakers VantheMan!

Hi,
Nearly there.
Just a tip for anyone making his WD25 using DIY Arcena. Don´t try and be perfect. One millimetre less is much easier to sort than one millimetre more.
Having stuck my chipboard to the MDF on the side panels I now need to "shave" the chipboard edges without touching the MDF for them to fit the rest of the box. Not much fun.

I just wanted to say that I still have a good amount of foam left
