Audio question .....

Ok so we have had a few complaints from neighbours regarding the bass from my speakers lol !!

My question is, if i put them on a couple of small concrete slabs will this actually isolate them and stop the bass or is it a myth ??

They are already on spikes but obviously this isnt doing a good enough job

Sensible tips and help please lol !

Could you not just turn them down and respect your neighbours wishes?

Had this problem for years. Only solution I found was to buy a detached house.

Even on small concrete slabs won't muffle the bass. The vibrations will still travel through the structure of the house/flat.

I use rubber blocks on my stereo speakers, the type that is used under heavy machinery. For my guitar amps I use a power attenuator, but that won't help with your stereo...

I'm in the same situation. Live on the ground floor flat and the people above may as well be living in my space. I very rarely play music now as most of it needs to be played at a volume necessary to drive the speakers.

I need to move too.

depends on the size of the room and location of the speakers. Try moving them to the oposite wall and putting them on stands?

Try some of the foam used in some flight cases (the dense aerated almost solid type, not the soft pick & pluck)

Also look out for the acoustic foam used in recording studios (it has a rippled surface) which you can sit behind your speaker to help subdue the bass reflex..... Easiest way to fix it is turn the bass down and complain every time moody neighbour makes a noise
