tommyboy Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I put a piece of wood under my RW10, and WOW, what a difference. You guys with these subs may want to try it. Night and day difference in sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 .....i agree that different materials under a sub can make a difference. for another tweak try parts express spikes then a cheap 1-1/2" thick concrete stepping stone from your nearest home store and see what you think, that's where the biggest difference was for me.

I don't know if the wifey would want a concrete slab in our living room though! She was a little upset about the wood. I snuck it in when she wasn't home. It took her about 2 days to notice it, and she wasn't too happy. But she'll get over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cover it with matching carpet. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 Cover it with matching carpet. [] But wouldn't that sorta defy the whole purpose of putting something solid under it in the first place? I mean, there's concrete under the carpet, right? Or would that still work?

Speedball Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 ......we have wood floors that's why there was a difference here with the slabs .........try spikes if you already have concrete floors, she wont see those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2only Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 funny thing is, I have wood floors and had to put carpet under my RSW-10d just to keep it from walking all over the floor. I didnt really notice any sound difference though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 What kind of spikes? How long? 1", 2"? ...the spikes from http://www.partsexpress.com/webpage.cfm?&DID=7&WebPage_ID=25 are about one and a half inches tall and one inch around. doesn't really matter they all do the same thing.......the biggest difference for me is when I put the round slab under it and to look decent .........painted flat black.

You might be able to get a nice slab for little to no money (think of the fact they throw away the sink part of the counter which should be the size. WAF goes way up with marble or granite.

Well, DTEL, you didnt seem too thrilled about handing out Forte's, so I dropped DTEL's wife a PM. I told her to check out this post. She told me not only is going to have a word with you, but I can have all your gear as a gift for letting her know![] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
