   What other response could we expect from Phil?   
      
   ** A even funnier one ?   
      
      
   But the use of 40mm thick panels with lots of internal bracings mean   
   enclosures are fairly sonically inert, and not a huge amount of acoustic   
   energy rattles around inside and spews out through cones, delayed a few   
   cycles to interfere with front of cone wave propagations.   
      
   ** ROTFL  !!   
      
   Having a very stiff enclosure ( eg a concrete pipe) INCREASES  the amount of   
   internal sound reflection. Filling the enclosure with sound absorbent   
   material is the only fix for the problem.   
      
   ( Think how a typical bathroom sounds compared with a carpeted loungeroom   
   room full of furniture and curtains)   
      
   Wot a pompous dickhead.
