I have found a professional dealer of acoustic equipments, and bought a plate of foam that is used to reduce distortion and resonance sounds in a smaller boxes, radios, computers,etc.
I spend 3 days working on my JVC, and now the sound is better, even the bass. It's a small difference, that made a big difference when listening to music.
Now sound is coming from one place, not like it was before, screaming with echo sound.

Nice work! Especially given that that system had full range speakers with a passive radiator. Did you seal it up nice and tight to stop air leaks? :-)

So you cut all those pieces individually?
I've often thought of using Dynamat but your stuff is probably a lot less expensive.

Yes, I had spend 2 days on it, i had to cut each piece individually to fit to those shapes.
this stuff cost me 40$ for 1 meter/50 cm, it's 1 centimeter thick, it is enough for two of my boomboxes. Now I want 6 milimeters thicknes becouse I want to soundproof smaller box. I have no idea how Dynamat will work. :-)

I stick this to every wall, everywhere where I could, on the front panel around speakers, behind, below and up. Looks like there is no leaks.

one thing about dynamat is you have to heat it up to get it to stick and make it pliable enough to contour to surfaces.plus its best to use a roller to get the air bubbles out and to actually press it to the surface .really not made for use on plastics because of the heat required to install it.

that foam is the best material to use in this case , it will take some of the boominess out of the sound but the sound will be much flatter and smoother by reducing standing waves from inside the cabinet .
