Subwoofer vibration foot isolators????

I have a SVS PB13 Ultra subwoofer(piano gloss black) and the feet are rather short(roughly 1/4-1/2 inch from floor). Can anyone suggest a vibration footer to raise the sub from floor(carpet) and be able to handle my 150 pound subwoofer to eliminate unwanted vibrations of the house. I tried different placements and the vibrations decreased by leaving about 2-3feet from the walls. I would like it raised off my carpet about another 1/2 to 1 inch more...I noticed 6 threaded feet on this beast....ALSO: basement room measures 18x23. Any suggestions!!!!!!!!

The Adona stand would easily hold a 155lb subwoofer as it is made for large loads like huge mono-blocks, etc....You would utilize the Adona spikes to solidly connect the stand to the carpeted floor.

I have a taller version of the BDR Max puck (2.5" wide by 1.5" tall is standard size). You may also wish to consider the Jumbo Pucks (3.5" wide x 1.5" tall). I had the BDR Super Max pucks made with a taller profile and the right taps for the bottom bolt holes of my sub along with other tweaks of their base design. If you don't go this route, you should check to see whether you need one of various BDR adapter bolts to get from the bottom of your sub to the pucks.

(see MusicDirect site for best visuals on all BDR products.)

Write me on email if you want more specifics.

Bacardi, I would recommend the Sistrum product. I use them and many others also do and they really work well. I have them under my MBL 101E's and also mono block amps.

Every person whom I know who has tried has been absolutely left in awe with positive results, check out their site and unlimited Reviews and Testimonials.

Here's another review to check out, actually very good.

The set for sale right now on Gon. is a steal of a deal.

I just got a PB13-Ultra and placed it on a new Great Gramma. Fits nice! It can hold up to 300 lbs.

I got my Velodyne DD18 on 3 A.R.T Q dampers. It cleared up the bass a lot. Not so expensive!

Any one use Subdudes with the JL Audio Fathom 113s? JL claims their feet preclude the need for any acoustic isolation. I'm also interested in the ASC subwoofer products (I forget their name!),but they recieved great reviews in Stereophile. My subs are in a music system only, in the basement, on carpet. If you raise your subs off of the ground, but keep them in exactly the same place, will you need to run the setup software again to optimze the sub placement?
