Vibration dampening


After reading the article on Herbies isolation products, I got to thinking:  My sub has more vibration going on than anything else, at higher volume you could put your hand on top and it feels like a massager..I am using spikes on thin carpet with concrete underneath.  Has anyone had positive results with these or other isolators?  It is a Velodyne DD12.

Thanks, y'all.  Your recommendations are appreciated.  @ghprentiss, I had my kids and their friends at the house and they wanted me to demonstrate.  I played some of my favorites and then they needed some Motley Crue and Metallica and that's when I noticed it.  And the sub WAS kicked up a notch.

Concrete floor, stackcs of two hockey pucks under each spike with metal disc between, sub. Crossover and volume feathered in so that the bass sounds between the mains. wunderbar!

In talking about the spring pods to isolate, I actually put foam ear plugs inside the springs to act as a damper on the bounce and run one or two less springs in the setup. Effective loading without the wiggle and jiggle of springs and sound seems a little better overall.

 

And yes, pulling your sub away from the wall a little helps a ton to smooth out the response.

I second the Auralex SubDude II..I used the V1 in a home theater for years with excellent results & still use SpeakerDudes in my bedroom system...
