Installing Bucket Magnets


Hey folks, im getting ready to install some Bucking magnets in my JM Lab 707s and a pair of Velodyne Subwoofers in order to shield them for the TV.

Looks straight forward, epoxy the magnets to the rear of the drivers.

Has anyone done this before? Any complications you have come across that i should know? Any advise?

Thanks!

Not a servo sub. DLS-4000, top of the line model of a mid level product line. LOL

Every answer posted is the correct answer. I used in the past bucking magnets to make a shielded center speaker before ther was such a thing..We used silicon and wire ties to hold everything in place till all was cured. The sub may not be a factor...because of location and height relative to the crt's placement..Tom

Do the SW actually distort/discolor (discolour for sean) your picture? Why not just move them away a bit. SW are sort of free to roam around the room.

What's wrong with shielding instead of adding the bucking magnets?

My understanding is the TI (Texas Instruments) FerriShield works to resolve this issue and it can be cut and pasted into the speaker cabinet without fear of harming the components or changing the sound.
