A2-300 Custom Glass.... - Blu-ray Forum

Therapist · 04-04-2009, 04:45 AM

Put this in this forum to get the most feedback. I have a project in mind for my A2-300. I want to get a piece of Very Dark Glass cut precisely to fit the top of the sub. 1/4 inch thick and very dark with little clear rubber feet under it to prevent it from rattling . NOW the part where you guys come in is I think I'm gonna have "elemental designs™" etched/sandblasted into the surface and need to know which way you think it would look best. And feel to post and tell me if you think its a dumb idea too.

I'm wondering if it should be left to right dead center.... vertical, bottom to top....along one side left or right vertical. WHERE should I put it? Let me know! .....or perhaps angles form one corner to another?

I'm leaning towards putting it either dead center left to right or along the left side front to back or maybe corner to corner........Help me decide..

Well my buddy hooked me up with this glass shop with one day turnaround. Apple tv on top for now. Still looking for a place to do etching. ZERO rattle using blue sticky poster stuff for spacing.

Looks like you need to make yourself a riser too!

Therapist · 04-07-2009, 07:23 PM

I have a riser that will be here saturday. I live in an apartment and I NEED it if i ever want to turn it up and not kill something downstairs. Did it make a big difference with yours?

BrettBell_eD_Rep · 04-07-2009, 07:32 PM

That does look so cool!!! I can't wait to see the logo as well.

I want to see that logo too. Man I love the ideas coming off of this forum! Let's all start our own company, lol. If I do, I know who I am hiring.

Just a little.

SlmShdy1 · 04-08-2009, 03:47 AM

Does having it on a riser help keep the bass in the room as well? I live in an apartment also and, as far as neighbors go, would it help so it doesn't disturb others so much or is it mainly to get a clearer/heavier bass without having to turn it up so much?

Therapist, I think your idea for the glass-top was great. I think it looks good too

What is this blue-sticky poster stuff you are using to put under the glass??? And are you sure there is no rattle? Have you demoed some bass-heavy tracks at louder volumes?

ZERO rattle. The glass is raised approximately 3/16 inch off the sub no contact whatsoever.

Fantastic! I am glad it worked out! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Therapist · 04-13-2009, 01:38 AM

Well my riser showed up (GRAMMA) and it definitely tightened up the bass and hopefully made it so it doesn't rattle my downstairs neighbors possessions as much

. Will post pictures of everything as soon as my missing parts for my omnimount G3FP arrive this week.

The gramma is a great product. Glad you are enjoying it.

Pics.

Therapist · 04-19-2009, 11:48 PM

thanks for the reminder. I just uploaded some new photos. Still need to put up drapes and framed movie posters, and do a little wire management just to the right of the sub. And a wood wedge to angle my sub upward a little bit. I'm also thinking of trying some different places for the apple tv but we will see.

Not that it'll come into play or anything, but their logo has copyright protection. Technically anyone who etches that, especially if reaping commercial benefit, is probably violating copyright law. (I found this out when I tried to get a logo tattoo.) But, like I said, probably no big deal. You could always write for permission.

JasonR · 04-04-2009, 04:53 AM

Why am I not seeing pics of this sub!

I would go dead center, I feel it would look the best. I think you might still experience some rattling though and would be hesitant to do it myself....

Therapist · 04-04-2009, 04:56 AM

perhaps some thicker glass then to weigh it down more. 1/2 inch maybe. I'm open to all suggestions.
Lack of pictures is due to the fact i've rearranged my whole setup and its all torn up right now. Waiting on G3FP stand from Omnimount.
