@dadork the subdudes are large enough to accommodate the outriggers? I've experimented with using two platforms to fit under my subs so the feet would all rest on top and it didn't work so well. Not enough weight to compress the foam properly. Think about some heavy ceramic tiles or patio tiles to try.
Spikes on tower speakers
This is my first post here, just getting involved in the earlier stages of serious stuff. I recently bought a pair of Piega p4L MKll speakers. They sound great, at least according to my perhaps unsophisticated ears.
My question/problem: The speakers have spikes on them that cannot be removed because the previous owner glued them to the base. Becaue of the spikes, the speakers are very unstable on the carpet in my listening room. I need something that the spikes will go into so that the speaker towers will be more stable. So far, neither plywood nor small metal speaker spike pads have worked. Am now considering carbon speaker spike pads and hockey pucks to get the spikes into and then a bigger base, such as wood or even granite/marble.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that would solve this problem.

@michaellent , Amplitude is essentially volume but referring to output level across the frequency spectrum. It is a essentially a different way of describing frequency response. An equalizer adjusts amplitude at specific frequencies with a specific Q. |
@jtcf , The silliest thing you could possibly do to a subwoofer is put it on anything but a very sturdy floor. Put your hand on the sub playing a bass heavy number. That vibration you feel is distortion. In a perfect world you would not be able to feel anything. Some of the best subs come remarkably close if placed on a solid floor. None of these have a single driver. The Newtonian forces of a single sub driver shaking at 20 Hz will vibrate even the heaviest enclosure. |
Competitively priced with the Townsends is the Boenicke Swingbase, which has been around since 2010. 6moons has a preview for a review going on and here's a video of the base in action: So many ways to skin the cat. No intent to highjack this thread but to point out that if one wants to really isolate something from below, this is one alternative that goes even farther than springs. All the best, |
