DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor

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.

No need for all that, or any expensive hifi products, just use 4 of these these under each speaker, Sorbothan pads it’s the best vibration isolater , they are 70 duro the heaviest duty and will support and isolate your speaker.

Hey, Michael, wrong thread. This one is vibration isolation. 🎅

Great thread. Learned a lot about new products and why they might/not work. Gracias.

I have always found this to be a fascinating subject. Partway agreeing with some of the ideas here, I tried something a bit different. First of all, the speakers that built have very heavy duty outriggers. I did this because the speakers that I built were just a bit narrow at 12" wide. I found Sorbothane 50 thick pads that were mounted to 1/4" bots. That made it easy to just screw them into the outriggers. Knowing that Sorbothane has issues on many surfaces, I happened to find furniture cups with a bunch of small plastic spikes (probably meant for carpet), that neatly fit over the bottom edge of the Sorbothane. End result is a maybe yes maybe no outcome. When I was still a bachelor, I thought about metal screws holding the speakers tight to the floor... and round we go.
