what to do about subwoofer moving around =| - Blu-ray Forum

yellowblanket · 11-11-2007, 01:30 AM

ok, i just got the klisch 12"
i only leave the volume on the sub at 1/4 and it's keep moving around. It got on my nerve last night. My basement is wood, what should i do? i already tried puting thoese rubber knob on the base but no help. While it is a outstanding sub (loud as hell) but it got annoying because after a while i would have to push it back to its place lol
any advice?

only advice i could give you is put something under it... try one of those yoga mats the women use for their crouching frog or wtv. that should be padded enough to not make it slide around without it being a permanent thing.

LOL!!! I wouldn't be complaining! That's exactly the kind of subwoofer I want! LMAO. The only thing that I can think of is securing to the floor with some sort of homemade cradle. If the floor is wood, could you fashion some sort of nesting unit that you could screw into the floor?

gvortex7 · 11-11-2007, 01:37 AM

Yeah, you definitely need some sort of cushioned mat with a rubber bottom. That should stop the subwoofer from fidgeting around.

that would be bad with the vibrations it would rattle against the floor and the "cradle"

Theres some shit out there that can help you out. For example, They have that rubbery shit that people put in their shelves of their RV that keep their dishes from sliding while they are driving. It comes in a roll that you can cut. Its that same sort of material that old people have on the floor of their shower so they dont fall over on the slick bottom... That shit works well

yellowblanket · 11-11-2007, 02:07 AM

rubber feet for furniture may work with some doublesided tape to hold them on. or take a clue from the howard stern movie and have someone sit on it.

I have the same sub and that was happening to me all the time. I solved this by cutting a rug to fit under the sub. It does not make it permanent so you will not put holes in your wood floor. I then watch Pearl Harbor louder than usual and it did not move an inch. Try that.

WickyWoo · 11-11-2007, 03:30 AM

send it to me so that you won't have to be bothered by this "feature"

Brain Sturgeon · 11-11-2007, 04:14 AM

Actually, your sub moving around on your floor is an acoustically bad thing to happen. You want the sub to be coupled to the floor rigidly, as that should tighten the bass up.

If you have a wooden floor that you don't mind marring a little, then spikes on the sub would be the best way to fixate it. Most decent subs should be threaded for specific spikes. I would check with your audio dealer. If not, then you might want to check out the subwoofer bases at this site:
