Drilling holes in the box? Well that lets out the sound

We could add a flowmaster with a nice chrome tip and give it a good deep rumble but we aren't talking jet engine loud here. If it is in a stand then line the stand.

Like I said, just drop it in the fuge.:rollface:

argetni44, how hot do MAGs get? I would gess the low hundreds if that. Just wondering.

You know... i couldn't tell you exactly how hot they get... but just working in the buisness for such a long time i have seen a lot of things... and yes, Bean, there is a very small likelihood of the pump actually reaching full meltdown, however I have seen a mag before looking like someone just took a blowtorch to the plastic casing and then ran it over with a car. Likelihood=low, but possible, especially externally.

i would, however, agree with you, Bean, that just throwing it in the fuge with a rubber mat probably would suffice... the sound dampening box, however innovative, may not be the best approach

Of course anything can melt down

The point is that putting a magdrive pump in a box is not likely to be the cause of such a meltdown... thats all.

Then again, I would not run a mag drive externaly either

i think this topic has been utterly exhausted to tell you the truth

yup... but there is plenty more where it came from! The DIY forum is never void of interesting or controversial threads
