Subwoofer tweaks



Hi,

I have a Velodyne DD-10 and a friend recently let me borrow
a pair of brass spikes to try. I stuck them under the sub
and noticed an improvement. The sub sounded cleaner and
had better definition. I was wondering if anyone has
tried any other products (Aurios,cones, etc) that have made
an appreciable change (for the better I hope) on their sub.

Thanks

I too noticed an improvement when I placed three medium-sized cones under the sub. The cones were resting on a piece of granite block. Slow plodding bass was gone and the speed and definition were significantly improved.

This was compared to the sub directly on a carpet floor.

I was surprised you can support the sub with "a pair" of brass spikes? I thought we need a minimum of three?
Member Dgarretson reports serious improvements in his Velodyne by replacing the diode bridges. Take a look at his system.
Have fun keeping up with Dgarretson. I wish I had more time to do some of this stuff.

Auralex SubDude is a winner for me. By isolating the sub from the floor, it smooths and extends the response. I use them with my Velodyne HGS-15 and HGS-10. Really a big improvement for not much money.
