Your time and resources might be better focused on determing the source of the vibrations and solving those. Good luck.
Is There a Way to Lessen Vibration On Cables From Powered Speakers
I noticed that the interconnects, power and speaker cables that are plugged into the powered speaker have constant vibration. Is there any way to nullify or reduce that vibration? I was thinking about buying some form of rubber or foam pad and cut out holes for the cables to go. Then place it at the source of connection in an attempt to stop the vibrations from going down the cable.

@ghasley True, but it seems less risky to offload the vibrations from the cables than it is to dismantle a powered speaker. The vibrations begin with the speaker drivers and how they interact with the cabinet and sockets. I suppose that is the trade off for making small speakers that have a ton of power. There simply isn't a lot of space and room to contain the vibrations. |
@ghasley It isn't that I cannot unscrew, it's a temperature issue. The amp gets hot and the putty melts very quickly. My fear is, leaving the putty will melt and get onto the electronics and cause damage. I am researching heat resistant foam pads that I might be able to use to cover the entire amp panel. If I can stop the reverberation from the actual inputs themselves, it won't transmit to the cable. |
FINAL UPDATE: I solved the problem. Not mitigated, solved. The EVA foam only did a minimal job. I found the solution in Neoprene rubber sheets. Just one thin sheet made a difference. Eventually, I used the entire roll and wrapped it around the cables. Vibration gone. The only thing I need to look out for is heat. The Neoprene can handle extreme temperatures, but it insulates and keeps heat trapped. So if heat is generated by the cables, it could build up. But...vibrations solved. :) This is what I bought in case others are interested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CJFQ6F9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |
