Now, on a New front I am in the process of developing a sound enclosure for a STOCK 3000w genny and testing gives me low 50's DbA readings with marvelous cooling. Prof95 has a retrofitted enclosure with such a reading that includes a LPG retro. A few others already (like Lew) have done well in the area. My read is that we can have these STOCK 3000w Chinese gennys sound real 'sweet and low' on the cheap and be the talk of the CG's if that's what you like.:B
AZJIMI:
After struggling with the idea of some way to lower the sound of these 3500w Chinese genny over the past six months, many times in building (constructing)various boxes, I thought the answer had been discovered. Then, up jumped the devil in the details. At the present time I have a new idea in use for a genny that required no cuts to be made to the Stock frame. The box is vary simple to construct with a minimum of tools. It will lower the sound by many DbA/s and cool like the north pole. However, a few more hours are needed to finish the time trials before any pictures are posted. My personal feeling is many are now working on this same project. Sometime in the near future we should be hearing and seeing some really neat boxes. Some folks are more open than others to allow OPEN discussion. Let's hope we can all learn from each other and add our own new ideas to the mix, (this should not be a one man/woman show) thus becoming more pleasing folks to our neighbors at home or our campin' neighbors, with a nice sweet and low sounding genny and have some fun in the process.
