Ok Geoff I'm trying your idea of springs and a granite slab or 2. I would assume 2 stacked would be better. I'm going with nothing in between. I'm picking up the springs Monday. I will tinker with that. I will then see if the sorbethane between the slabs is a bust with the springs. Maybe skip that and go with the spikes. Thanks for your expertise here and thank everyone else for there sometimes passionate opinions.
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.
