    Cool JBL cabinet insulation

    Where can I find the yellow fiberglass insulation found in JBL speaker cabinets?

    yellow 1-inch thick fiberglass

    What I've used comes in fair-sized rolls and is normally used to wrap steam pipes and such. It's a bit denser than the pink stuff. I've found it to work well as damping material. I don't know if this is exactly the same as what JBL used, but it sure looks right.

    Duct insulation

    Hi, I used to fab a/c sheet metal. Your local a/c shop has 9 inch wide rolls as well as 4 foot.

    Would a water heater blanket work as well?

    R30 and peel it in half or thirds. Don't put too much brain work in fiber fill. A little goes a long way. Too much goes the wrong way!

    That's the stuff!

    It is the cleanest tidiest way to do it right. I have gone through boxes and boxes of the stuff over the years...

    I prefer polyester fiber fill but it's characteristics are different
    Why buy used when you can build your own?

    I prefer working with it... but not it's sonic properties. In any case, this thread was about replacing 1" JBL fiberglass... the wrap-on stuff is spot on.
