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.

Geez, I don’t get what all this is all about.....all you need is a critically damped buckling isolator tuned to an appropriate frequency for isolation....and a mechanical diode to take care of all the speaker vibrations, and without the phase issues damping brings to the table.

Easy peazy.

And then everything will be quiet on the Eastern Front.

Was just dreaming up an ideal solution....and having a bit of fun. Dreaming aside this is some tough sledding and will always fall on the side of best efforts and never hit an ideal solution. Like isn't a mechanical diode kinda like a holy grail thing, often searched for, but never found ?

Sorry for the fun-ing.
