Lead shot VR4jr's


I finally bought some lead shot, 2 bags at 25 lbs(which seems like a small bag for such a big cabinet). I am going to attempt loading the speakers this week-end. Those of you that have already done this, is it a compartment that holds the shot, or does it fall to the top when you load it and then bounce around and hit everything when you flip them over? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I would appreciate it if you would share your experiences and what you would do differently, given the chance. Did you push a plastic bag inside to be a liner? Did you notice an immediate improvement? Was it worth the effort?
Thanks

Hey Y'all,

The lead shot is very helpful but I used something different in my VR-2's. I used Micro bearings from Star Sound Technologies. This stuff is more expensive but it is safe to handle unlike lead shot. You will not need much for your speakers. I used 3 quarts per speaker. I would also highly recommend using Audiopoints, also from Star Sound Technologies, for under your speakers. I've been using them for years with amazing results. Just call Robert, a great guy by the way, at Star Sound and he can let you know what you'll need. I swear by Audiopoints and Star Sound Tech's spikes, speaker and amp stands. The performance is astounding and the qualinty is unsurpassed. Also, I can't say enough about how well Robert has treated me over the years. Good luck and enjoy your systems.......John
