masterxela Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Already had to replace every light bulb in the house with CFL's. (filaments were stressed from vibrations) Now the kitchen is driving me crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 You don't get headaches from the CFLs, not worried about the mercury? CFL's are a terrible idea and way less efficient than LED. Sorry about the rant, I have a serious hate issue with chinese made taxpayer funded cfls. Is this a trailer or a house? What sort of construction?

masterxela Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 No headaches. I work with boiling nitric acid, HF, nasty stuff all the time. Hg doesn't worry me (as long as the bulbs do what they should, and don't explode) If there is an equal output, equal wattage LED that fits for less $$$, I'm in. They're not at walmart. I believe I have these: http://www.amazon.com/GE-21709-15-Watt-740-Lumen-Floodlight/dp/B001AT22AG Buying chinese isn't bad. They make fine products at a low cost to the consumer. We don't need Americans clicking a button in a manufacturing plant... We have the privilege of an accessible and advanced post-secondary education system and should be churning out folks who invent/design/engineer the products for the $2/hr labor army to produce. House, built in 2007. 'Normal' construction.... I'm tuned flat-ish to below 20hz, maybe a 3db bump from 120 down. Run >110db regularly; the bass is prodigious (at 1/2 inch excursion, I probably have more displacement than 2-3 of klipsch's current offerings pooping their pants) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is that happening at just a few freq's or over a large range? If you have any 12v lighting you can get LED's for around $4-5 for those. For Par30 stuff it's $12-18 boiling nitric acid?. what do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterxela Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 It happens over a large range. I can place my hands on the walls of my garage door 100 feet away and feel it. Not a matter of particular resonance I'm a PhD physics student. Our main procedure to remove the native oxide layer on silicon wafers involves nasty chemical baths under a fume hood.

wuzzzer Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I shook a bag of tortilla chips off my fridge when I was listening to some bass-heavy music the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 The only solution I can think of is give me your sub, just joking[] Maybe changing the location of the sub or elevating off the ground may help somewhat. Try getting the sub out the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterxela Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Only solution is a dedicated basement theater. Pulling it out of the corner would lessen the rattling, but proportionally lessen the output on my couch. Might as well have a synergy 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio Android Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Try isolating your plates from the cabinet they are in by putting something under them. When I have my PS3 in my bedroom it sits at the foot of my bed in a little cabinet. When it plays DVD/BD it sends a low frequency vibration through my whole bed and I can hear the disc spinning through my pillow. So I put it on a yoga foot pad. It's like a 12 inch diameter air filled rubber pad. It's a small raft for my PS3 and works beautifully. Just find something in your house to put under the plates. Hope this helps....[H] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JL Sargent Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 There are NO non China cheap LEDs for screw base sockets period. Been there and searched for that! With incandescents being phased out that leaves you with............CFLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Only solution is a dedicated basement theater. Or more sensitivity in your subwoofer channel so you can reduce the power going strictly to that big 'ol 21. [] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted February 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 4, 2013 I can place my hands on the walls of my garage door 100 feet away and feel it. Not a matter of particular resonance That's not unusual, I doubt dynamat will help with that, bass sound waves are not going to stop because of a few layers of dynamat. Bring it up in class, to the teacher, it would be interesting to try to solve, considering it's almost imposable (within reasonable design/cost) to stop bass waves. If you could do it you would make a fortune. [Y] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For good deals on led's check out http://1000bulbs.com/ I just can't bring myself to pay $17.00 for a 50 watt (equivilant) bulb no matter how much I like LED's. $44.00 for a flood light bulb! They need to be around $5.00 a pop before I'll start switching over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksonbart Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just place a rubber placemat under the bottom plate and get some club lighting, strobs, lasers etc. I will be over in 20 to get down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
