Hey 'Chum'...Yes...I have used packing tape and carpet tape to 'test' a substrate before permanently mounting them. Trust me...you'll be sticking them all over the place so removable tape makes a lot of sense. I like the carpet tape on the face because if you strap packing tape over the back and have too much pressure on it, it affects sound quality.

It's not hard to get 'hooked' on these things! There's something 'a boat' the look on people's faces when they hear sound emitting from a cardboard box! It's pretty funny!

Jay,

I use 3 small (1/2" square or so) pieces of double-stick carpet tape to temporarily hold them in place. You don't want to use too much tape...the disc part is cardboard and it's hard to remove them without mangling the disc if there's too much tape.

Boy do I wish I was more proficient in Photoshop...I had this flash of inspiration to do an image in which I combined multiple pictures to do a workup of "the Humpback of Notre Dame", but I couldn't quite get the helmet to fit.....

Very interesting!!! Leave it to Bill Young to fuel new fires with such a cool idea. I have been thinking about a related idea so if anyone can help, maybe these two go together. Lots of $ being spent on high end home theater installs. One thing they do is place acoustic foam panels on the walls to balance the sound and eliminate deflection. From what I've seen these are plain jane fabric covered panels. Not very asthetic and HO Hum for an expensive sound room.
So I was considering a carved shape as a potential product to add some decorative appeal and functionality but haven't found out what or where to get this acoustic foam or if its something that machines well.
This thread seems to be an exciting idea pointed in a similar direction so I'm just putting it out there and asking if anyone else has explored this or knows about the "acoustic foam". I see I can buy some foam from dealers but can not determine yet what it is, its properties, or who makes it.
Guess I now need to check out sound Pods.
Always something fun on the forum. Happy Thanksgiving
