I had these on my SB13 Ultras. Sold the SVS 13s and bought a pair of Rythmik F18s. I installed the SVS Soundpath feet on them as well. Yes it makes a difference. Less boomy and more defined. Also cuts down on the rattles.

Well said.
I have 2 SVS PB12-NSD subs in my basement listening room on a concrete slab. I used some packaging material from equipment at work to make some risers, it was like night and day
Very nice !! 👍🏼
I still hang on to my old Yamaha system yep old(1997). Shortly after I bought them I noticed the bass sounded off. I checked the connections for phase, ok there. I visually inspected the speakers from a distance and realized that they were sitting on the floor(carpeted). For a test I raised the fronts up about 1/4 inch with some shipping foam. Result: A much more clear base response/more defined. I was surprised that this did the trick as I was used to large ESS AMT 1B Studio Monitor Towers. I quickly realized that these small Yamaha Wedge speakers had the woofer very close to the floor, this the issue. I believe this would also help on hard floors, in a different way though. Little things sure cam make a big difference👍👍
Great review. Thank you.
I recently purchased an SVS SB-1000 Pro sub and it was too boomy and shook the floor & walls creating rattle that bothered my wife in the next room.
I put these soundpath isolator feet on and it’s a huge difference. I prefer the tighter bass that it produces and I can actually turn it up louder than before and it doesn’t affect the next room at all.
It seems as though the LFE just exists in the sound space of the listening room now and there’s little to no transfer into any of the surrounding area. Remarkable.
Total game changer for my setup.
I’ll probably get another one of these SVS/Isolator setups for the other side of the room to round out my 7.2 setup.
Great feedback and thank you for sharing !! They’re a great product that actually works and doesn’t break the bank. 😉😉🤙
I must say that i have a Morel sub-10x subwoofer and it is by far the most amazing subwoofer i have ever had.
My endgame sub for sure.
Very Nice!!!
ok sold, my mom’s room rattles from the bass and it’s 2 floors up from my listening room, awesome
Ive got these on 4 sb13 ultras (2 stacks). They are awesome, definitely recommend
Great feedback. Thx. ☺️
I bought them and took them off. They steal the bass feeling
And that’s the point. To keep the bass from resonating and muddying up the soundstage. Much tighter and cleaner bass, leaving the mids and highs much more focused and detailed. But that may not be what everyone prefers. But hey man, it’s like ice cream, everyone got their flavor, as long as you’re jamming bro. 😉😊☺️🙌
Before i put those feet on my pb16 ultra my downstairs neighbor use thw hit the floor when i play i use to hear the pipes in the wall the dishes in the kitchen now i dont even feel nothing under my feet on the floor or couch
@@chriswelljack4910 nice!! They work great. 😊
@@abxaudiophiles yes indeed
Wow. That’s a review that is amazing. A product that delivers. Very good.
Oh yea!! I still use those today on every sub I have.
@@abxaudiophiles long term success. That’s great.
I dont have audiophile ears...but I do have ears and I purchased 2 pairs of these for each sub. Wow immediately less boomy even bass. I would advise everyone to get a pair
I found the same result!! And agree!!
Not sure if you watched John Hunter's of REL video on why he's not a fan of isolating subwoofers from the floor.
Essentially, the tightening of the bass that you observe is because you're upping the frequency of the bass by raising it and isolating it and hence losing the lower frequencies.
I totally get it. But I much prefer the tighter and cleaner bass presentation. So, it’s all down to what the goal of the consumer is. 😊😊👌
Lol bs .what height a sub suppose to be off the floor then and it not like those feet raising it up 2 inches
It all about keeping the sub from transferring enegy to the floor and structure adding unwanted sound to the bass results in muddy inaccurate soynd
@@chriswelljack4910 Guess you know more than John Hunter.....😂
i love mine .. i have them on the two sb16 subs that i have , i also have them on my turntable .. do not hesitate getting them ,
I’m almost thinking about getting them for all kinds of stuff. 😂😂. Too good.
@@abxaudiophiles stuff in my house used to fall off shelves and walls with smaller subs with less bass out put .. now that i have these on my two sb16's the sound stays in the room , and there is no lack of bass by any means ..
Thanks for the great and honest review.
My pleasure!
It doesn’t look like you have any videos of your Emotiva speakers. I was thinking about going all emotiva. Speakers anyway. I do like the outlaw amps. How does your emotiva speakers sound? Do you recommend?
I have had all of the Emotiva speakers except the T3, and that includes bookshelf's and centers for the most part.. You will be very hard pressed to find something new on the retail market that will get close to competing with the Emotiva Line up for the same money or even slightly higher.... The T2 towers were my reference speaker for a VERY long time. I at one point had an entire system bot 2 channel and home theater that was 100% Emotiva... Zero regrets. PS - Outlaws amps look fantastic as well. Probably close to the same level of bang for buck as Emotiva in some cases. Although the XPA lineups are stunning.
Thanks for the review
You are welcome
Are the rooms you used the feet in carpeted or bare floors? My room is carpeted and I question whether these would make a difference or not on a carpeted floor. Thanks for your review.
One carpeted and one laminate. Almost identical results.
You’re welcome my friend. I’m no engineer, just trying to provide my experience as accurately as possible.
on carpet ..
Hi, my subwoofer does not have threaded feet, can I still use these Soundpath feet? If so, what do you recommend to attach them? Double-sided tape? Or is it better to use the IsoAcoustics Iso Puck's?
I just used a short wood screw on some of my other subs. Also the threaded inserts can be used. Also a good double sided adhesive tape would work as well if you’re not moving them a bunch. Cheers.
@@abxaudiophilesOk, thanks James for your input 👍
PS- if you search Amazon you can find those from the actual manufacture for $10 cheaper than SVS. Same exact ones.
You can just sit the sub on them
Great review I've been considering these will purchase now
I have them on all my subs still to this day.
I have my sb 3000 on a foam platform by aurelex would i benifit by using the soundpath with the foam pad.
I think it’s more effective yes.
@@abxaudiophiles so using both the platform and the feet together would be good?
I’m a believer in you can never have enough isolation. Especially with subs. I would advise to always try and they can be ordered on Amazon and easily sent back if not ideal. I still have them on all my subs to this day. 🥰🥰🥰
I bought single PB 3000 for my home cinema and and said that pads are not recommended. Is he right?
Did they come to your house and listen? Did they take measurements? Did they come to audition your setup? How would they know what's right? or needed?... Anyone who makes a blanket statement like that should not be trusted.
@@abxaudiophiles Hi
After setting up my sub I will probably buy it and test myself.I have a neighbour and want to reduce rattling.Thank you for you comment😊👍
Man. If a foot made such a hug difference in the sound why on earth would cables not do the same ? And would you believe me if I told you you could have got the same results from a 30 cent foot ?
The fact that you don’t know the answer to your question is all that needs to be said.. snake oil and mechanical decoupling are two very separate things.
And no I wouldn’t believe you, because the sub that I swapped it on had 30¢ feet. 😁😁👍👍. Cheers.

@@finnbogimarinosson3463 I don't consider myslef wise or a fool. Just sharing what my experience was... If you don't agree or like it, i am certain there are many other professional and wise reviewers you could follow. The best to you my friend.
cables are about signal/electrical transmission, this other about physical, mechanical movement, very very different things.
That's like saying 'wow, if the tape helped the fan stop rattling, why wouldn't changing power cables stop the fan from rattling as well.
