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!

Sean, see above post to elartford about speaker placement.... on my virtual system, you can see where they are, any closer and they start messing with the picture. any further out and one will probably get knocked downstairs and the other will be in front of the door to the garage. (LOL)

Honestly, i hardly use the crappy center speaker i got when watching movies, normally i just run phantom mode which works fine for me, the imaging on these really does get the dialogue dead center. Well, unless yer pretty far off axis, but damnit, when i watch a movie im in the sweet spot, everyone else can just deal with it. =)

Mu Metal? Never heard of it but i will definatly explore that possibility as well! Thanks for the tip!

Im not absolutly sold on Bucking Magnets, That was all i got though in a thread i put out a while back about how to do it. So i figured that was the only real way.

Ill hit the net looking for Mu Metal as well, any rec's on a good dealer?

Thanks!
I know that Michael Percy sells some shielding kits, but i don't know exactly what he offers or how expensive it is. Doing a search on the web might turn up some "non-audiophile" suppliers with both a wider variety and slightly better pricing. Sean

Welp, this problem was solved.
I got my new TV stand and with the increased highet of the stand im no longer having any trouble with magnetic interferance.

THose magnets should arrive today. Guess ill use em to make sure that my grocery list stays on the fridge.
