Nice idea and I'm all for DIY projects but you're using a thin glass surface which is bound to resonate even with the pads AND the listening position is super wrong. You're supposed to sit at a point of an equilateral triangle with the speakers at the other points. Meaning distance from you to each speaker, to each speaker is the same otherwise your stereo field is messed up.
Ok I took this idea and made my own Only difference i did was i used layers of different types of compressible foam to avoid resonance as well as using MDF hard board instead of using a tile as I read that would be more appropriate to absorb vibrations The difference is immediately noticable and the music is so much cleaner before it was booming a lot making the audio muddy sometimes
Correct it's a poor execution not thoroughly researched and planned out. The tile will only bounce the frequencys emitted from the speaker back up towards the speaker muddying the sound and causing vibrations. Also the foam used has to be open cell foam as that absorbs the frequencys. If he used closed cell foam that will bounce the frequencys back up towards the speaker again muddying the sound and causing vibrations.
I used Yoga foam atop of the mopads foam, i need the height. They bite each other and do not need any other material like glue etc. And they're lightweight, which is matter because my desk cannot handle heavies. Your idea to put a tile atop the mopads foam is good, will lost a lot of bass if you just used it without something hard. I used HS5, is that HS5 too ? in the video.
I must personally thank you for the idea of making this if not for your video I would have bought the subdude which sells for over 100 dollars here in India, now I getting the stuff to make one
Why not tell us what YOU used in the video? "Soft,.skin type of material" in the description above does not help. Also..what kind of "tiles" and "foam" density did you use? Thanks.
I neeed some to put under my bed feet. Old place problems. What do you think is better, your high density foam solution or cork sandwiched between two rubber pads? (I need 16 pieces and I refuse to pay for them already done. It would be 60 bucks)
cherielektra old house problems or neighbors complaining for to many squeaky sounds, haha? Anyway, how come you need 16 of them?! Cork sandwich sounds like better solution - but 60 bucks is total bull ripoff
LEARN WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIRST. THE OBJECT IS TO USE FOAM ONLY.... ADDING THE CRAP CARDBOARD OR WHATEVER IT IS TO SANDWHICH THE FOAM NEGATES THE OPTIMAL USE OF THE FOAM & THE REASON WHY ITS USED............DUH...LMAO
i use custom design fs104 speaker stands loaded with 7kg of attacam attabites in each column. and my speakers sit on attacam isolation gel pads. no vibration or distortion just crystal clear sound and deep bass
A for intuitive but you should really have done a lot more research before starting the project. The foam needs to be open cell foam as that obsorbs the frequencys, if you used closed cell foam that's useless as it doesn't obsorb the frequencys. It bounces the frequencys back up to the speaker muddying the sound and causing vibrations. Also don't stick tile on the foam as that will also just bounce the frequencys emitted from the speaker back up towards the speaker. Muddying the sound and causing vibrations, leading to a very poor quality sound quality from your speaker's. My DIY set up on my speaker stands is much better. Just a custom size 50mm thick acoustic open cell dense foam that stops vibrations and absorbs frequencys from 60hz upwards. On top of that 4 platinum cured proprietary silicone isolation feet that reduce vibrations by 95%.
There is no open cell foam invented that can absorb as low as 60hz with any efficiency. Even rockwool will only be 90% efficient to 500hz. I’d love you to prove me wrong because I’d buy some today
@@404MissingLink i can actually prove you wrong, 4 inch rockwool in A type mounting with 4 inch of airspace has a sabine absorption of 1 in 125 Hz this has been debated to death by people like ethan winer and others on several acoustics forums, check some numbers in the porous absorber calculator if you don't believe it or check out Bob Golds absorbing coefficient website
@@404MissingLink does this mean that foam works? probably not. Does this mean that rockwool can go way below 500hz? yes but you were wrong about that specific point regardless
Why would you use tile? That is terrible for sound absorbtion.
I can smell this thing through my phone.
I think the foam alone is enough and looks better. But I like the logo idea!
I was just gonna say that. I put mine directly on some high density foam
Good video, man. Gave me some really good ideas about what I'd like to do for my speakers and even my turntable. Thumbs up!!
Nice on. Thanks for making it
This helped me a lot! thanks for the knowledge!

Good idea and nicely executed....BUT you have a glass desk and speak about sound quality ?????Seriously
Ok I took this idea and made my own

The contact point of the speaker should be foam, not tile or wood... Fail.

Super, masz teraz świetne pudło rezonansowe, załóż struny i masz banjo!
Eliminate the bottom board and it will work a lot better. Also, tell your dog to stop doing that or it will go blind.
Lol I know why did he put wood piece on the bottom don't make no sense
This is really helpful, thanks for making this!
You're welcome, good luck making one your own. :)

Hey, I'm from India and I'd like to know what materials did you use when you did this. Also, did it work?
Mannnnnn! Let me go grab a mitre saw real quick...😐
The title of this video should be 'How to make a funking mess in 4mins'
Bro there gona sound crap
Funny watching a video and the maker doesn't even know the name of the materials used
Why not tell us what YOU used in the video? "Soft,.skin type of material" in the description above does not help. Also..what kind of "tiles" and "foam" density did you use? Thanks.
dude it can be anything like leather, pleather or some kind of vinyl. It wouldnt make much of a difference
Looks like Auralex mopads type of foam.

cherielektra sorry, not much of a help just an opinion :/
i notice the toilet paper on sofa 0:28
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where would you buy the foam?
Amazon or your local fabric store. Just make sure you get high density
Pads eliminate vibration, thanx
why not get attacam isolation gel pads.
I think cones is the way
To go. Did the bass get go sway. Should of
just watched a guy called Dread Pitt making sand filled speaker stands so if I combine the 2?
This guy cut foam with a steak knife... nuff said.
You eat some monster steaks my dude

Lol am in the comments like wtf is this guy doing 😢lol help him someone
Very bad , you even don't know the materials
that true but what do you know lol
