Sound Anchors for JL subs
 

Hello all.

Came in from work around midnight last night to find these on the floor... needless to say I stayed up to put them in place. Another herniated disk:yikes:

I am so impressed with the build quality of these puppies. They are so much heavier than I imagined. Packed like a MC amp!!:lmao:

Anyways they were easy to put in place, albeit the muscle/back strain. They fit their spot perfectly. I am glad my measurements were correct, as I designed and had built the new cabinet a year ago now, without the real things available for measurements.

Thank you Ivan. It is a great product. I'm already noticing a positive change based on elevating the subs 6" closer to listening (ear) level. I get that low frequencies are essentially "non-directional" but I can tell you I "see" the low frequencies with these installed. It gives me a sense of better positioning (as the viewer) when watching TV.

I have not fully tested them (read: blast them) when it come to rattling the room. I am used to some annoying rattles at loud volumes, but I won't be testing that until maybe next week (schedule issues)

Until then I will leave you with some pics...
The Left sub:

And the Right sub:

Nice Hector. Fits like a glove. You may want to pick up the round pucks to put under the spikes. Also I believe the ridged rubber ring around the spike is to assist with installing the spike. No harm though in leaving on the spike. Nice install.

HA! Nice pick up, Jim. I didn't even think of the rubber thingies until you mentioned them. I guess I was too tired to think about what the hell they were:lmao:
Anyways, unless you come help me lift all that stuff again, those thingies are staying put. I may decide to cut the front ones with a blade or something later on:scratch2:

On the pucks issue, I wasn't sure if sound would be affected much with them on. They offer them on their website as a tool for those who worry about their tiles... I don't:cigar:

Again, anything that needs to be added will wait for my full recovery:roflmao:

cheers!

I hear you. Maybe that is where my lower back issues started earlier in 2016.

You do have some heavy stuff yourself... This hobby will break your wallet AND your back...

And hip! :lmao:

Hector... nicely done!

PS> I am now making these custom stands for McIntosh MC1.2KW's and MC2301's :yes:

Like these? ;).

Ivan - you and I and others are even for now in the hip department. Next time is going to be round two. :)

Hifi is THE most dangerous hobby after the age of 50. forget car racing or parachuting :D
