Don’t forget that what ever you use to fill your speaker stand column with, it needs to be dry (not moist or wet). Damp fill can be dried out in an oven on a big cookie sheet with sides.
How much lead/sand to fill stand rack?
Hi,
I have a Atlantis Ref speaker stand 24" tall, 4 collums with 4"x4" for each collum. So, if I fill up 2/3 for each collum with lead shot, it'll take me 12 bags of lead shot (25lbs/bag) for one stand. However, if I mix lead with silica sand, it'll take me 2 1/2 bags of lead with 15lbs of sand for each stand. I did it yesterday, and my speaker stand now weight over 100lbs/stand. It's so heavy for me to move now because I weight only 120lbs. My question is the more heavier the stand the better? Do I really need to fill up 2/3 of the height of the stand like people suggesting? What the sound will be like if I fill up 1/3 or 1/2 of the collum's height? Please help
Thank you very much
