Are Subwoofer Isolation Feet Better Than Spikes? I tested a PB4000 SVS Subwoofer with and without the SVS Isolation feet, averaged across 3 tests in each configuration to compare against each other. Some people think they add bass, other think it removes it. Let's find out!

Hard materials can be a good acoustic conductor. Rubber feet might stop vibrations going through the floor and onto the interior. I put rubber feet on my subs with bookshelves on top, and everything around rattled less. The wooden floor under the speakers is kind of bouncy so that probably why I noticed a big difference. I made my rubber feet from rubber pads for car jacks so speakers are suspended 2cm off the ground. It helped to make the speakers disappear better. Rattling breaks the "being there" illusion very quickly.
Great video! It was nice to see some measurements to back up your personal impressions on what sort of effect the SVS isolation feet have (pretty much mirrors my experience). Looking forward to your impression and measurements for a subwoofer on spikes!
You’re dog is hilarious
An award for his second role :)
I tought there was a pig jajajaj
If you are on a second floor the feet keep you from getting evicted. Neighbors never complain about my two subs that Ive installed feet on.
True!
i have upstairs neighbours that complain does isolation help?
You promised and you made the video THANK U SIR i knew some thing was wrong with my PB 13 ULTRA at first i was like is my AMP weak compared to by Pb 12 PLUS now you confirmed it that the ISOLATION feet do cause loss of low end
You're welcome
If a subwoofer cabinet is vibrating, it might be worth coupling to a heavy object (granite slab). The slab can then be isolated from the floor to avoid the floor shaking :)
what can be the advantage in this arrangement??
@@audfrknaveen2256 Put simply, the only thing that should be vibrating is the driver cone, everything else just muddys up the sound, and worse, introduces harmonic resonances,.....
Ever tried open baffle woofers? You dont get as deep but the sound IMO is superior and has different room loading charecteristics.. Better for apartments IMO and less rattling of dishes
Can the software also measure decay? I have a feeling the increased dB levels you're seeing when using spikes are due to the sub resonating the whole room, almost like an outer enclosure, when coupled tightly to it. This could absolutely make the bass "bloom" more, with a noticeable acceleration into peak bass, followed by deceleration back to silent. In that case, the spikes would give you increased dB on those low frequencies, at the expense of "tightness" of bass, or instant-on/instant-off of those frequencies.
I'd love to see a follow-up with decay measured!
Yes it can and no that's not what happened
@@COGuyStuff Very detailed response. Thx.
I don't get it. Can't read the graph. A simple explanation of what the spikes and then the rubber did. But ok.

I await the next video when you test both subs
Since the PC4000 is downfiring, I predict no change.
is there any down side to one type over another in terms of sub weight? i have carpet and my new sub is going to weigh about 550Lbs and i wouldn't want a spike to break or a foot to collapse.
putting you speakers really cramp in a corner, next to the wall isn't ideal right?
@4m:15s - are they 3 x acoustic panels on your wall? If so, where did you get them?

Excellent video! Need your expert advice. I have PC2000 siting on Vinyl Laminate floor over concrete (basement). And with playing Aquaman or Fury I have noticed that the PC2000 moves few inches and couple times plugged out from the power supply 😀. What should I do to prevent that happening?
I heard silly putty or something tacky under the feet work well for that.
Your floor is probably unlevel. You already have the feet.
Gotta remove them feet, so it cannot run away 🤪
Klipsch or dali 10" best budget subwoofers for small room?
Do yourself a favor and buy a decent sub to start. Buying cheap subs just leads to buying and selling for a loss to upgrade later anyway. Buy once, cry once as they say. Speaking from experience
I'm currently running a paradigm ps 1200.. looking to upgrade.. what do you recommend..
Tons of great choices...REL, SVS, Monolith, etc.
I would think spikes are better. Look at the amount of contact a spike foot has to the ground.
Why is your TV in the SKY?...
We use reclining theater seats. It's also angled down and in-line with us when we are watching
What happened to the Klipsch speakers.
Sold a long time ago, upgraded to all LSiM
@@COGuyStuff I see they are 50% off, haha, that happened to me with those Klipsch R-820's. I pay $450 each and a month later they are $300. So it looks like you went from a Padron 3000 to a My Father, good for you. I have never heard of those before.
They are often at 50% off and that's what I got them for.
@@COGuyStuff I thought of something you may find interesting. I have the same Klipsch speakers you had and as you know if they are 1/4'' out it's noticeable, so I use a laser pointer to get them aligned perfectly. $3 on ebay with free shipping well worth it.
