SVS SoundPath Subwoofer Isolation System, 4-Pack

Exactly what I needed in my bedroom with faux hardwood floors (laminate) that creak and sound like the downstairs ceiling is about to split open. The house was built in 1988 and I weigh 176 lbs. So, it's not me breaking the floors. I had a feeling getting a 12" Polk PSW12 paired with my surround sound setup upstairs in the master bedroom would probably rattle the ceiling for anyone chilling in the living room trying to watch TV (older and weaker sound system muahahaha). Figured I wouldn't mind the wife yelling at me or texting me to turn the volume down. Two or three times, no problem. Then, I'm trying to watch John Wick one night. Marilyn Manson did a killer job with the soundtrack to a bad*** movie. Well, with the heavy bass notes and drum beats dropping nearly the entire movie which I thought was awesome...I had to turn the subwoofer completely off and even adjust the individual channel volume of my Elac B6 rear surround speakers, DefTech ProMonitor 800s for the middle down-firing Dolby Atmos ambience (worth every minute of my research and every dime spent from my savings), DefTech 1000s for the top-front left and right surround speakers, as well as the Klipsch Reference RF-250C center channel beast. When she was finally satisfied with the level of reverb from upstairs, I found out later that the side-firing Polk PSW12 subwoofer was the primary annoyance. Can you imagine if I had gone with even a 10" down-firing subwoofer? She'd probably vandalize my speakers in my sleep! I love listening to music, movie soundtracks, and anything encoded with Dolby Atmos now that I have my setup...but I can't crank her up unless my better half is running errands, working, out of the house, etc. Thank goodness my 8-month-effort in 2016 building-out this Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 man-made hasn't gone to waste! I came across these sound / bass dampeners after I left reviews for the speaker system I ordered last year and read the reviews. Compared the ratings to the cheaper and more expensive brands, but had a hunch these would do the trick for my subwoofer driving my wife nuts. Worked like a charm. Enhanced the bass so I can hear the notes more clearly from within the bedroom, but it's about as loud downstairs as someone tip-toeing around on the laminate hardwood flooring. Noticeable, but her Polk PSW10 - 10" sub now annoys me more often than I annoyed her. Gonna have to get another set or two =-D Applications: Side-firing subwoofers, down-firing subwoofers, 12" or 10" in size - doesn't matter. Even loud floor-standing speakers will benefit from a set of these babies. I think I'll put some under my computer which rests on top of a laptop cooler and my Pioneer Elite receiver - adequate ventilation. Conclusion: Great invention - the material and design are quintessential to the top notch end result post-installation. A foam or synthetic rubber pad under the entire surface area of the sub would not have worked as well as these dampeners. Take my word for it. I installed DynoMat inside cars and trucks in my teens for the sound-enhancing, reverb and vibration reduction / elimination effect they provided people with upgraded sound systems who reported rattling sounds from their inner car door, dash, or trunk lid / pickup truck bed resembling silver bubble wrap style sunshades for cars

I have to admit, I was not so happy that a set of four feet - that some would argue should have been included with my SVS subwoofer - was going to cost me $50+. How much of a difference would these things even make, really? Sure, my sub did “boom” a bit, and the walls shook a little (or a lot), but would these really make a difference? OMG yes. 1000x yes. Gone is the boom, replaced by deep, present, clear bass. Put on The Who and Thunderfingers bass lines are out of this world. Listening to the new Aesop Rock, the beats slam. Monk? Terrific. Everything I’ve thrown at it has been improved by these little feet. Easy to install, and only lifting my PS12-NSD a few inches, they look good and can support the weight of my sub, providing stability and eliminating any wobble. Perfect fit for SVS. Is it annoying that you have to pay extra for these feet? Yes. Are they worth every penny. Absolutely.

So I was like this is expensive are you crazy for some feet! Well it’s true that this helps a lot! Keeps things crisp and clean and I feel improves the bass and takes away the vibrations in a good way. Easy to install and wish I’d have done it long ago but now that I’m in an apartment this was a no brainer and life saver

Bought these "Like new in Open-Box" from Electronics Expo (on Amazon) and they arrived in 2-days in a box that appeared to be sealed and brand new. We had also recently had our Polk subwoofer die so got a replacement Klipsch SPL-120 which advertised itself as having "Shock-absorbing rubber feet". Yeah, I guess but all I know is our room was rattling even more now than with the old subwoofer. So spouse has me off hunting for ways to stop the rattling. I looked at other cheaper rubber options for half this price, but they were all smaller and more multi-purpose.....so I bit the bullet and bought the highest rated (and highest priced) option in the hopes of fixing the problem the first time and not having to pull an 80 pound subwoofer back and forth replacing feet multiple times.. Well upon opening the box, I was immediately happy I had done it because these were heavy and substantial. Once I saw how tiny and insignificant the Klipsch factory feet were compared to these, I know there would be improvement. Note - these only ship with one size screw.....which did NOT fit my Klipsch.....so don't throw away those screws on the factory feet (they looked exactly the same but just different screw pattern). 5-easy minutes later we could instantly tell a more focused bass sound and probably 75% less rattle on wall-mounted picture frames and coffee tables. Yes, I still had to go put some felt pads on a few picture frames to completely eliminate the rattle, but these are great and no regrets. Threw the old feet in the box these came in, and if I ever upgrade subwoofers again, I will save these for my next subwoofer and put the factory junk back on. Great seller sending a likely brand-new product at discount and good product experience.

Okay I was super skeptical that some rubber feet could make any real difference to my subwoofer but I was completely wrong about that. After putting these on my SVS sub the bass went from kind of boomy and muddy to actually tight and clear, it sounds way more like what I imagined it would when I bought the sub in the first place. My downstairs neighbor has also stopped texting me which is a nice bonus. These are genuinely worth the money and I wish I had grabbed them the same day I got my sub.

While the install options were limited (I had to add 4x washers of my own to supplement the provided hardware) the end result is hard to argue with. I use ISO acoustics products for work/studio use and those work fantastically on full range monitors, but these were cheaper than ISO’s sub platform and for a lower end 12” sub I’m running in my untreated living room I thought I’d give them a try. SVS makes some weapons grade subs so I figured their product should at least be built well and I was right. What I wasn’t expecting was the improvements to low end tightness particularly with music playback. On snappy transient sounds (think kick drums and snares) there was less smear and things sounded sharper. And the neighbor liked the fact the improved decoupling factor resulted in less outdoor noise and vibrations. FYI if you’re just looking for that sort of product these will indeed do a solid job of minimizing noise resulting from the sub being coupled to your floor and bothering others in the home or next door w bass frequencies. With the audio improvements fyi I’m taking about a 3-5% difference here, these aren’t going to upgrade your sub to the point it’s a different unit. But if you listen to lots of music with your sub and you like detail listening (and have supporting speakers that are fast and detail oriented/aka not vintage) you’ll not regret purchasing these.

My REF 12" subwoofer was walking across my tile floor. The OEM feet, while very attractive, did not isolate the subwoofer from this solid floor. Unscrewed the original feet, added a washer and bolted these on. Problem solved. They are of excellent quality. While costly they completely solved my issue.

This is my third set and the work like a charm. Great product!!
