+1 for the Auralex Isolation Pads. Have the Auralex Isolation Pads under both of my JL Audio subs, on a hardwood floor, and I have no issues at all with vibration with the subs or the floor. And I listen at high volumes. Highly recommended.
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

Nice and simple. The same thing happen in my room as well. Just use Blu tack. If you are getting vibrations through the suspended floor cut a square slightly bigger then the foot print of the sub using 3/4 birch plywood (stain it) and put some blu tack in the corners and middle, stick the plywood to your wooden floor then place the sub on the plywood with the blu tack on the legs of the sub. All your problems will be fixed.

I have 2 SVS sb3000. There is no jumping around. Look at my system. I agree with @ghdprentice , something is wrong. |
Buy 4 2" Sorbothane 30 Durometer feet from.Amazon. Sorbothane is the real thing, no esoteric BS, its what is used for vibration control in all kinds of applications in all kinds of industries, because it works. 30 Durometer is the softest and works best in most audio applications. 70 Durometer is getting into the range of automotive suspension bushings and engine mount dampers. |
