So, other than the obvious "turn the bass down"...how can I stop my vibrating bass from breaking my house all to hell without hurting the bass? I've tried moving it onto the carpet, and that doesn't help.

Would suspending it from the ceiling on hooks with chains work? Seems like it would just shake the sub-woofer all over on the chains and eventually break the walls when it built up enough jiggle.

I can't turn mah bass down

I lieks it. But I don't like it breaking shit and vibrating stuff off my shelves.

I have those here below my subwoofer and it sounds absolutely awesome.
I have NO clue what they are called in english though

ViaBlue HS Spikes

Those look like crazy death spikes for my boots or something...what exactly do they do?

Edit: 13,999 posts. I better think of something good to post...

ViaBlue™ HS spikes receive vibrations from vibrating bodies like speakers (such as diaphragms) and devices (such as transformers and reduces them. The vibrations are absorbed through the high pressure point achieved, where the maximum weight (speakers, devices) is concentrated on a minimum point (point of the spike). Most notably, the bass acoustics sound clearer, cleaner and more distinct. Thus, the bass is not transmitted to the furnishings and buildings, but can develop freely in the room.

tl;dr the vibrations are absorbed at the point of the spike.

Alright, badass. Maybe I'll check those out.

I normally would have done it the ghetto way, but if you say they work pretty good, I'll give it a try maybe :]

Also - 14k posts. **** something meaningful, I'ma just waste it here. <3 haha.

Edit: Found some real cheap ones, but it seems like these spikes are gonna ruin the shit out of my entertainment center...

Edit2: Damn you Busta Rhymes and your excellent bass!

Turn the bass down.

On a serious note, make sure you don't hurt your hearing with it.

Oisterboy · 11-24-2010, 03:10 PM

Nahhhh, its not quite THAT intense haha.

And I mostly only have it up that loud for outdoor parties...I just open the windows and you can hear it in my front lawn if you're out there. Sucks coming inside to pick up some brews to have to walk by the speakers though

MrTingTing · 11-24-2010, 03:17 PM

I can assure you, the sound is incredible and will not harm your furniture or neighbours

Ronin · 11-24-2010, 03:43 PM

You can also just attach some concrete weight to them, or weight them down another way. The spikes thing is interesting though, never heard of that.

I would seriously suggest turning the bass down. As an audio engineer and a friend.

Barring that, and the spikes, find that soundproof foam for your walls, and tape that shit around the room where the monitors sit. Also try and lay down some carpet; that will absorb most of the vibrations coming off and going into the floor.
