SVS makes some nice rubber subwoofer feet that screw in to the bottom for around $49 a set. You can find them on Amazon, and they have thousands of great reviews.
Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes
Hey folks, any “best practices” for keeping my REL sub in one place at high volumes? It’s on hardwood (and/or tile), no carpet. Besides using something sticky on the feet — like double sided tape, I can’t think of anything besides a brick on top, lol. Anything that’s worked for you ? Of course, only happens at high volumes, it tends to vibrate itself around a bit (nothing crazy), Ideas?
Thanks, Jim

+1 the SVS footers. You can pay more, but I’d try these first due to their reviews, cost effectiveness, and ease of return if they don’t work. If not you can move on to something like Seismic Pods, which are much more expensive but by all accounts at an altogether higher level of performance. But I think in your situation the SVS footers will work just fine. Best of luck. |
If your Rel is "hopping" around, are you sure you don't have the volume/gain turned up just a little to high? I have two Rel subs in my system and I sometimes have to adjust the output depending of the disk I'm playing. Some recording just have so much looooooow bass and at such volume......... Herbie Hancock's Dis Is Da Drum is a good example. I suspect the Rel sub wasn't designed to have the cabinet vibrating during play? Just a thought. |
