Depending on the spec of it. To bad you are in Maine, I would let you borrow one.

Get a cheap SSD (I can find one of those too if needed) and I will send you a stick of ram for it (just pay for shipping). My "Play" Laptop is a HP EliteBook 850 G1, basically the same thing with a larger screen (It will run Forscan and Rew with out any issues)


Sad part is I just got rid of about 15 of these

If you want I will see if I can find a better deal and PM you.

You will want more than a tablet. Two reasons, One, you need USB ports for your microphone and dsp to plug in simultaneously. Two, you need an adequate amount of ram. Preferably 4gb or more. And if you are remote tuning, you will also be using TeamViewer. Laptops are cheap these days. You can however use your sons MacBook Air, that's what I tune with via Parallels. In your case, you dsp software runs on Mac so you can use OSX to run everything. The Mac is the route I would go.

Each sheet will net you about 22 squares. I spread them evenly within each door and also focus directly behind the speaker.

Remember, this is acoustical treatment. It breaks up frequencies from sub 25 hz on up. It's specific purpose is to eliminate resonate frequencies caused by your speakers. You use this in conjunction with noico. This isn't CCF or sound deadening. It's strictly for your speakers.

Or you can spend a little more money and get a set of full custom machined speaker adapters made for your specific truck and speaker. I use these and they are phenomenal.
