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.

Twoleftears,


Note what I posted earlier in the thread. The primary coupling is acoustic. 


Got a good laugh out of claiming the cabinet does not move in one sentence to claiming large floor coupling the next. Which is it?   Could acoustic coupling be a primary mode of coupling to the floor ... after all, where is the energy coupled, to the cabinet or to the air?

@audiozenology, are you hot dogging me? You probably should read what blue ranger wrote one more time. Spring systems are not wobbly unless you push down on them. Duh! You are nothing if not argumentative. Why It’s almost like you don’t know anything about it.
