Subwoofer vibration foot isolators????


I have a SVS PB13 Ultra subwoofer(piano gloss black) and the feet are rather short(roughly 1/4-1/2 inch from floor). Can anyone suggest a vibration footer to raise the sub from floor(carpet) and be able to handle my 150 pound subwoofer to eliminate unwanted vibrations of the house. I tried different placements and the vibrations decreased by leaving about 2-3feet from the walls. I would like it raised off my carpet about another 1/2 to 1 inch more...I noticed 6 threaded feet on this beast....ALSO: basement room measures 18x23. Any suggestions!!!!!!!!

Bacardi,

Right now on this site is a pair of Sistrum Sp101 adjustable platforms for sale. A Sistrum Sp 1 and APCD discs would work well also. I use SP101's under each of my James EMB subs and one each under my mono pair of amps. These are not isolation devices because there is no such thing as isolation. These platforms will allow for the collection of resonace to be redirected to the higher mass of the floor. The speed of bass will be much better with more detail and punch. Now that you can really hear your sub for the first time you will be able to better match the wave launch of your mains. This match will provide you with even better intergration into the mid bass and mid range make both more clear and resolute. Any speaker cabinet itself is a passive radiator. If this radiant resonant energy is not directed to ground away from the driver and the cabinet itself... it will self perpetuate. The speaker amp will amplify unneeded excess mud held and stored on so called isolation devices. I am a dealer..Tom
To theaudiotweak:

Do the APCD discs(3) go under the Sistrum Stand???? Will that be optimal improvement? What can be placed under my sub or ontop of the Sistrum stand to protect from scratches or scuffs???? My sub is the piano gloss black.

Bacardi,

You put the APCD discs on the top points those that will engage the bottom of your sub. For maximum grip and launch I elected not to use the discs on my subs, also piano black. I don't look at their bottoms. My subs bottoms that is. Tom
The Adona stand would easily hold a 155lb subwoofer as it is made for large loads like huge mono-blocks, etc....You would utilize the Adona spikes to solidly connect the stand to the carpeted floor.

I have a taller version of the BDR Max puck (2.5" wide by 1.5" tall is standard size). You may also wish to consider the Jumbo Pucks (3.5" wide x 1.5" tall). I had the BDR Super Max pucks made with a taller profile and the right taps for the bottom bolt holes of my sub along with other tweaks of their base design. If you don't go this route, you should check to see whether you need one of various BDR adapter bolts to get from the bottom of your sub to the pucks.
