Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP


That's right I have a big sub-woofer (Velodyne HGS 15) sitting on a carpeted slab floor. I'm thinking I should set it up on some points and maybe top load it with say 20 lbs. of lead shot. Any one agree? Disagree? Have any better suggestions? Let’s talk turkey:~)

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
Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how it turns out. happy gobble gobble tomorrow:~)
