boa12 Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 anybody know where i can get spikes or something to put a marantz monoblock ma6100 on a thick carpeted floor? it measure's: WxHxD - 3 5/16" X 5 1/2" X 17 3/4" it has 4 little rubber feet screwed on the bottom which sink right into the thick carpet. just got the new ma6100 but didn't think about the depth so i still have no room on the audio rack. only room for it is on floor next to rack. no room for a bigger rack either. or maybe i'll just forget about adding a rear center channel/C7 to the main sys. thanks! ------------------ Klipsch KLF 30 (front) Klipsch KLF C7 (center) Klipsch Cornwall I (rear) Velodyne HGS-18 sub woofer Marantz SR-8000 receiver Acurus A200X5 power amp Sony DVP-C650D 5-disk cd/dvd player Sony Trinitron 27" stereo tv Toshiba hi-fi stereo vcr Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2100 digital cable box Monster HTS2500 & HT200 powercenters Boa's Listenin Lounge: Klipsch RF-3, RC-3 Sony STR-DE935 a/v receiver Kenwood KR-9600 AM/FM stereo receiver (vintage 1975) Russound AB-2 receiver switch to RF-3 Teac PD-D1200 5-disk cd changer Technics SL-1950 turntable/AT LS500 cartridge Technics dual cassette deck Monster HTS1000 powercenter rock on!

boa12 Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 maybe some component vibration isolator mounts would be better. but know of any of the manufacturers of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 boa,I used 3/4" MDF to make a amp stand for my Acurus 125Five.HD has MDF 3/4X16X48 for $3.49.They'll cut it for free.Got the spikes as eq suggested at Parts Express (part # 240-715)and painted it black lacquer. Works and looks great.Parts Express has other spikes also, part # 240-725 and part # 240-730.Good luck. Oh yeah,nice equipment.

boa12 Posted October 12, 2001 Author Share Posted October 12, 2001 thanks men but sorry after some foolin around i found that it will just barely squeeze under the bottom shelf of the rack. keith u know what i mean w/ that vantage point stand. have to lay it on it's side but shouldn't be a vent problem since the amp's vents are on the top, no? manual just says don't block the vent holes.

Huh? Is it standing on its end, like a tower PC? since heat rises, and the vents would be on the side rather than the top, you may have a problem if that's how it is oriented...Not sure I follow ya.

boa12 Posted October 13, 2001 Author Share Posted October 13, 2001 dd, well er kinda like that cept it really has depth & it's narrow (when set normally) see measurements above. good point on heat rising. it's vent holes normally would be on top & bottom, but on side the top/bottom holes would be on both sides. should get flow through. maybe it needs a lil side fan. always something. then again my pc doesn't have holes on top though it's no amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 boa - You're right - the PC has no holes on the sides, but it does have a built-in cooling fan DD2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted October 15, 2001 Author Share Posted October 15, 2001 yea doug will be working tonight on setting up the new amp & B&K pre/pro. think i'll play it safe & set the ma6100 upright as it should be. think i can find a way to get it that way on the rack. marantz tech will say not to put it on it's side. the holes on top & bottom make sense w/ the heat convection & all. thanks for the alert.
