Just get the SVS upgraded feet and be done with it…

I would just get the feet and surely will do so but my floor is "special". After a year of trial and mostly error finally cured my turntable issue. Now my wife can dance through the listening/living room with no problem and never have feedback. Additionally the quality went off the charts. (Hyperbole alert) But the SVS SB 2000 will certainly create its own set of challenges. Springs sound right and Townsend is too pricey for this lowly music lover. So in the shop I go to create a spring loaded sandwich. I thought a bottom board and top board suspended by four springs should do the trick. Any tips on this idea? I like the plastic wrap and form damping insert idea. Sub only weighs around 50 pounds so shouldn't be too cumbersome of a situation. Thanks for everyone's help. I guess the subDude pad is helpful but only in a limited way. Suspended from ceiling on spring platform might work too? |

At 50 lbs you might need to remove a spring or two. Mine are 175 lbs for the smaller subs 6 did the trick. Over 200 lbs I use an inner tube. for Bass bins, subs or columns. I used innertubes for 20 plus years on 500 lb bass bins. NEVER had a blow out. I aired them once a year and used spring loaded casters in the corners. You know the tube doesn't have to be filled with air either. Water and air are used all the time in inner tubes for traction and weight.. They still act as a type of shock material. Water tires are quieter and easier on the operator. I'm not sure on noise and water though. Silicone liquid is VERY quiet.. I'm sure all types of oil are too.. Air is pretty soft? How do you make it thicker? You can foam an innertube and then add air TOO. That is actually how a NO Flat tire works.. Still have to air the tire.. |
Super advice everyone! Got me thinking outside the box....I have built a wooden frame 24" X24" X 6" with one semi heavy bungee cord woven back and forth creating a trampoline weave which being tested with the weight of the sub causes it to hover on the bungees, hence BOING BOING BOING. Did the same for my turntable (except it included a platform to set table on). [Took 10 attempts to get the right spring which isolated from foot fall and micro vibrations and sounded much better] Added foam feet with felt under sub suspension frame. Now to run the power cord and connections without crisscrossing over any other cords. Many ways to skin a cat i.e. isolate a sub. Thanks team Audiogon. Now for the listening tests. |
