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.

If the room us vibrating the walls are already enormous speakers.


When the woofer is already moving way more from say turntable rumble and your music is riding on top of that, does seismic motion matter? Seismic motion us predominantly <10 Hz and quickly drops off from their to 200hz, opposite to the Fletcher Munson curves so seismic movement would need to be more substantial to be an issue but again, the giant speaker walls are going to be orders of magnitude more an issue.
Goeffkait, can you use that expertise and review my math wrt the spring resonance for the OP?


Blueranger, what is the spring constant of the new springs (57 lb rated)?   As your platforms are not overly large, shorter springs as well would be "safer" due to less angular movement (say if you bang into them).
I know an engineer and he has restaurant clients that have him calculate how often that they need to tighten the screws on a ceiling mounted beer mug holder that you typically see in a bar.

The reason for this is primarily vibrations from vehicle traffic. If the screws aren't periodically tightened, then the beer mug rack will eventually come crashing down. Based on this example, I'd say vibration issues is a real thing.

I guess this engineer doesn't believe in lockwashers.
