Has Anyone Here Tried The SVS Soundpath Feet On A Rel Sub?


Yes, Springs may be better. But unless I can fasten them to one of my subs, it won't work for my situation. Rel recommends the use of Blu-Tac under the OEM feet for isolation. But That won't work well in my situation either. The problem is that I have to move the right channel speakers because they are in the LR (UGH Why didn't I build my room before I got too old and the material too expensive SMH) . I'm considering Herbies Sliders for the mains. Yes, it may be a trade off. But that's life. Any suggestions besides getting rid of wife? Shes been with me for 46 yrs .

Blu-Tac is the opposite of isolation. It actually fixes or fastens things together. My HFT are held on the walls and speakers with Blu-Tac. Next best thing to hot glue. Anyone telling you this is isolation don't walk, run. They are clueless.

Sorry. Yet another example of just because someone is good at one thing does not make them good at another.

Springs are better. Not "may be". Are. So first of all look under your subs at the factory feet. They are probably screwed on. If not then you are screwed. But if they are screwed, first simply remove the factory feet. Drill and tap Nobsound. Or drill and nut. Or if not threaded you still are not screwed, here is where you can use your Blu-Tac or hot glue or silicone, any semi-permanent fastener.

More semi-permanent fastener on the springs. A third dose on the bottoms, to fasten plastic furniture gliders on the bottom of the Nobsound. Done. For $35 all-in. Maybe less. Shop around, there are slightly different versions of Nobsound find the best ones for your situation.
Rel actually recommends nothing...I was using isolation platforms on my S510 subs left over from previous Rel subs...Watched the video John from Rel made about this subject...Removed the platforms,set them directly on the hardwoods and wambam...much much better deep controlled bass...I think they only suggest blue tack if you have wobbling from uneven floors.According to John the rels are designed  and engineered with an exact distance from the floor to the passive driver,changing that distance causes many problems in what the sub will do......watch the video!
I've tried several brands of isolation devices,also  stone or concrete slabs under my subs.Without fail the sound is worse. I expected to hear a difference but was surprised at the denigration. This was with SVS subs and also HSU subs.Something to consider before any drilling or gluing commences:-)
I use the SVS Soundpsth Feet under my SVS sub and the sub being on the second floor of my house vibrated the floor.  I put the SVS feet under the sub and no more noise downstairs and the bass tightened up tremendously.
