DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor


A definite sonic improvement in tightening up the bass. 
1. Start with 4 aluminum cones. I used some old Mod Squad Tip Toes.
2. 16x16 slab of granite.
3. 1/8 cork.
4. 1/2 inch neoprene rubber.
5. 1/8 cork.
6. Top with another 16x16 slab of granite.
7. Enclosed with a wood cradle to hide the mechanism.
  The granite is from scraps from a shop and was cheap. The added 1/4 inch of neoprene to 1/2 inch thickness did help. Let me hear your thoughts.

It's okay Geoff. I am going to guess most people know the difference between a shock absorber and a spring in a car even if you don't. Here, maybe this link will help you:

Uh, as usual in these case you can’t see the forest for the trees. An ordinary man has no means of deliverance. Blinded by science. 😎

Good wiki skills, however. Credit where credit is due. 😬

Geoff stop being such a putz, all you want to do is sell the OP your automotive valve springs for $13 each!! that anyone can get used from a auto wrecker for practically free!!!!!!

blueranger This is the only thing worth buying to Isolate (de-couple) from a wooden floor.

To his credit, which I give grudgingly, GK does claim his springs are Cryo Treated
