Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP

Glen, are you having a hard time "integrating" the sub with the rest of the system or are you just in the mood to "tweak" ? Sean

Sean, You know how it is. Your sitting on the couch looking at your system thinking, I wonder what would happen if I did this that or the other. Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm leaning towards the spikes with some top loading. Where does one aquire lead shot anyway? I'm going to check into the Maple Shade product. I'd rather not drill if I don't have to. Please excuse when I said amp in my second post.

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

I agree with Mcne, except that steel shot is magnetic, not always a great idea on top of speakers with magnets. If you cannot find lead shot at a shooting supply, try finding it at a dive shop.

Dive lead for scuba, is coated in copper to conform to current laws about water safety. Completely non toxic and still non magnetic.

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
