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

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. 

You are right @ millercarbon. My mistake. It couples it to the floor which is what Rel wants to happen. I knew Rel’s had a different approach. I just didn’t know how big the difference is. This may be the reason for poor reviews by some. I suspect that posting this tidbit will only give cannon fodder to the Rel haters.

From the article

The cost of the Blu-Tack solution is extremely affordable and it works better than any other material. We do not recommend the use of spikes or platforms as they do not work well on RELs or any high-quality sub. Remember, the goal is to couple the subwoofer to the floor and transfer the energy into the room.

The more efficient the subwoofer’s mechanical pathway is, as is true with REL subwoofers, the bigger the jackhammer.

Platforms change the height off the ground (as do spikes) which will have a negative effect on the performance of your REL. The higher off the ground, the less bass will transfer into your room. You may well be surprised at how much better the sound is once this has been completed and for almost zero cost. Enjoy.
