Clean up bass response on sub-woofer
 
Reference # Submitted by Submitter rating Cost
407 Marc Morriss Excellent $15.00
 
Source Brand
Klipsch RSW15
 
Construction
Use a stepping stone (cement slab) as big as the width and length of the sub-woofer. Use either squash balls or something similar to put under all four corners under the cement slab.
 
Setup
Advisable to have either spikes or the same squash balls under the sub-woofer to isolate from the top of the cement slab or stepping stone.
 
Use
This is for use with wooden floors. I have not tried this on carpeted floors but should work just as well.
 
Performance
The bass response is significantly cleaner. It is quite noticable how the boominess is gone and a clean bass response is accentuated.

Marc Recently found a relatively inexpensive and superior alternative to the cement slab under the subwoofer.

I am now using Auralex Gamma platforms under both of my subwoofers. They have materials that absorb and keep the virbrations from transferring to the floor (in my case hardwood floors). And the sound is quite improved. I was told that the cement slabs actually could increase the vibrations through the floor and after listening to the new platform based sound, I agree it is significantly superior. The platforms run approximately $49 each.
