DIY speaker isolation base for a wood floor

A definite sonic improvement in tightening up the bass. 
1. Start with 4 aluminum cones. I used some old Mod Squad Tip Toes.
2. 16x16 slab of granite.
3. 1/8 cork.
4. 1/2 inch neoprene rubber.
5. 1/8 cork.
6. Top with another 16x16 slab of granite.
7. Enclosed with a wood cradle to hide the mechanism.
  The granite is from scraps from a shop and was cheap. The added 1/4 inch of neoprene to 1/2 inch thickness did help. Let me hear your thoughts.

I know an engineer and he has restaurant clients that have him calculate how often that they need to tighten the screws on a ceiling mounted beer mug holder that you typically see in a bar.

The reason for this is primarily vibrations from vehicle traffic. If the screws aren't periodically tightened, then the beer mug rack will eventually come crashing down
I guess this engineer doesn't believe in lockwashers.
