Quoted from MarkA:Recently Pinnovators spent a lot of time hunting down the rattles and vibrations in our R&M last month. We learned a lot!
Greetings,
In our view the best / most common tape is UHWM (Ultra High Molecular Weight) which has an acrylic adhesive backing and extremely low coeffieient of friction (CoF). It sticks to the glass very well, and is slippery enough to allow the glass to slide in and out of the channel easily. It's 0.030" (30 mil) in thickness, and cut to 0.25" x 43" strips. Its a bit hard to find in low quantities so we offer it as part of our system. We also sell it stand alone, but recommend that if you only a single application of tape you get it through Tekman on PinSide. Here's our offering:

Next, the speaker grille is an obvious source of rattle and we advise our customers to simply remove it. Note that a grille will still rattle even with a spacer. (We're confused how you can claim this is a solution only to also say on your website that the volume needs to be decreased???)
Finally, a spacer ring is vital which is why we have always offered it with the PinWoofer system. The image on your website is not very clear - is that gasket made of foam? Regardless, we do not recommend using a foam gasket or something compressive. MDF or plywood is in our view the best material to use because it is rigid and does not allow the speaker basket to deform during bass hits and will not degrade over time.
Thanks
