Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP

I have the same woofer and I had an unfortunate accident with some brass spikes that I installed. Or may it was the 40 lbs. of lead shot that I laid inside the cabinet. Anywise, I drilled the bottom of the cabinet and screwed in some inserts and then screwed in the cone spikes. One day I was positioning and I didn't lift enough and it ripped one of the spikes out with a chunk of the bottom. As I looked at the material that they used to make the cabinet it resembles crunched up cardboard. It is probably great for sound deadening but terrible for supporting spikes and 110 lbs. of speaker. I repaired the damage with marine resin and bought a set of three huge Maple Shade spikes that have three small spikes on top. They have worked fantastic and I highly recommend them. But bypass the drill and inserting of threaded spikes. Dale

You can get lead shot at a reloading supply for reloading shotgun shells. But you must be careful with lead especially if you have kids or small critters because lead is toxic. I sealed up the burlap sacks that the lead shot comes in with wax, ZipLoc's and duct tape. After I had done all this I realized that I should have just bought steel shot. But it worked awesome. You do not need to drill for the Maple Shade spikes because the sub will sit on the three small spikes on top. Those are awesome improvements. You can go view them at their web site. These are massive HUMUNGOUS cones. Dale

OH Yea! That is a major point. It is magnetic. Bad choice. But I wonder if it would tailor the sound in , oh never mind. Dale
