HiThere,

 

I’vebeen looking at your Aluminium honeycomb,

 

TheApplication is for car audio

I’veseen people glue box selections of aluminium (30x20x300mm at 3mm thick) with aPU glue like tiger seal, covering the roof of the car in aluminium. And thenonce the glue is dry fill the box section with expandable form.

 

I’mthinking about using your 20-30mm aluminium honeycomb instead – being a lotlighter and maybe even stronger! The idea is to make the roof solid so itdoesn’t flex/vibration creating or picking up sound.

I’mmainly looking for some guidance of how I would go about it, I was thinking a2part pouring form to pour into the honeycombs to make it ridge? Any advicewould be great!



Also – please see the link I’ve attached below

It’s an example of how someone has used aluminium box section(which I plan to use aluminium honeycomb instead)

The problem with such big "ice" systems is not just sound deadening but flexing of the panels itself, hence the need to stiffen the panel up.

The aluminium box section example does look a bit ropey.... That said, if he bonds in the honeycomb and skins it properly then there is no reason why it shouldnt be structurally sound.
