And what kind of putty is it? I remember reading 'mortite' -- is this correct? What should I buy at the hardware store if I need some more?
Mhnn...last time I asked Brian about the original amount of putty for the RM1, he said start with 8". By these posted amounts my speakers are seriously over damped. My RM1s came with the carbon fiber megawoofers(?) and soundcoat. And I have since done the SR1 and vitrified passive tweeks. During tuning I ended up removing just about 1/2" or so.Mhnnnnn....
Wonder if he meant 4" each? Hope you have "high damping ratio" amps and short speaker cables

Hope you have "high damping ratio" amps and short speaker cables Hah, would a Jolida tube amp qualify as "high-damping-ratio"? But hey my speaker cables are 8', thats short. Well I guess I would have to experiment for myself, and compare the sound with 4" vs 8".I have been wondering though about the legacy of VMPS, would there be a continuation after the "chief" has gone on? Seeing that his work is dependant on his personal participation/touch? Is there a plan in place for the 'future' of VMPS?Don't get me wrong, I wish Brian the best of health and life, but as a long time VMPS customer (since the late 80's), lately I have been wondering about VMPS without Brian.
That said, I think at some point the putty pinch system will be replaced with another "secret invention" B has up his sleeve.
How would laying an original sub on it's side effect putty amount? I'm thinking about using them on there side after I install the new mega woofers and passives.John
