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.

Hi Blue Springs are a great tool when voicing your system. Once you start using them you might find other materials that you like the sound of better than aluminum, rubber and granite. Steve's invention of the Tip Toe was also revolutionary and was the beginning of the audio cone. I prefer the sound of Brass and Zinc and even mild steel as being more tuneful especially use with wood materials. |

That’s because they’re great isolators. Use them under amps, use them under power supplies, use them under speakers, use em under subwoofers, use em under CD players. The more springs you use the lower the system mass. The more springs you use the more you can hear! Hey, how ‘bout little mag lev isolators for cables and power cords?! 🤗 |
