AV Jugad (Hack)

[OM_2K19]

I had no option but to put my Sub on a wooden platform; drawback it rattles. One of the solutions was to get an Isolation Pad. The cheapest one was for 7K. So, after some research, I found these Antivibration Pads and, sheer out of curiosity, decided to give it a try. And, I couldn't believe in my ears how miraculous this solution worked. The Bass energy is now evenly spread, no more rattling, and yes, it's now hitting the chest. The cost of this whole experiment is Rs.300.

Nice and I had a similar experience with a different product suggested by fm Prateek. Gym tile which I purchased for 350 but now it costs 700. Right now I don’t use it cause when I sold my xtz, the fm who purchased it requested the sub for home demo first and also complained that he had a lot of rattling with the main door. So I gave my gym tile along and asked him to test. He confirmed the rattling was gone. Shared the link of the exact product

Seems like a very effective low cost solution. Your Rel sub has 2 long rails instead of the normal 4 small spikes/ supports below. So how are these place and do they cover the entire rail. Thanks.

Yes this is a great alternative.

Another similar jugad is to use the below rubber cable organizer as feet for components such as amps, dac, streamer,etc. These come with 3M sticker on the flat side.

I also read that Cork sheets from Ikea too work well as isolation.

They are not long rail but around one and a half inches long. If you place the Sub on the floor, those rails got a pretty good grip. But on wood, they rattle.

I purchased silicon rubber feets for using on electronics from amazon. Used it on my digione player and KTB. Grip is nice and very stable. The fitting is also excellent.

I have been using these gym matts for subwoofers since long time. Stops rattling and vibrations. I use two of them, just cause I have few extra.
