At the point where you noted that your floor was essentially wood directly on slab, it was obvious that there would be zero difference. SVS themselves say that the isolation feet are most applicable for solid wood floors that are open underneath - i.e., a room where floor resonance is a problem. No matter what is between your sub and the floor, if the floor has zero to minimal resonance then the mechanical motion simply won't be transferred. Things aren't rattling because of the subs contact with the floor, they're rattling because of the sound waves traveling through the air... Likewise, the subwoofer's performance won't be affected because it isn't generating any resonance through the floor - you simply won't hear or measure a difference when you have a solid slab directly beneath the sub like you (and I) have :)
@@COGuyStuff Yeah, I see that - glad they addressed it. I s'pose they should have sooner but a friend and I discussed the isolators when they came out and came to the conclusion that you'd have to have a fairly resonant floor for them to make a substantial improvement to the sound...
@@shawnhamer7823 I've already brought it up 3 years ago at avsforum in the SVS owners thread, they didn't dare acknowledge it at the time. Then subwoofer 101 made a review about them and I brought it up to him, sure enough he mentioned it as well. SVS has always been kinda bullshitting people about the isolation feets.
This is very true! Slab floor with wood over, this is not what it’s used for. It’s used for apartments with wood floors and such, or second floors. Just saying.
I live in a condo and my main purpose of isolating is protecting our downstairs neighbor from my downfiring sub. Which kind of isolation would you recommend based on your experience?
I just ordered SVS PB-1000 Pro sub with the feet. Saw a vid where SVS was talking about how they designed them. Guy said they were mainly for people who are on a wood floor above an open space, which is me so I bought them. Sure the squishy feet are good for protecting floors and easier to pick up sub and could also help in other situations, but some more then others.
@@COGuyStuff Watching your video I could not understand which graphic represents the subwoofer sealed between these 2 modes: Using the standard svs rigid foot and the gelatinous svs foot available for upgrade. I would like to know what impact you had between changing between those 2 foot on your sub. Sorry for the way I speak, I'm from Brazil hahaha
Svs isolation feet work well. I use them on my paradigm sub 15 along with my two sb4000 and my pb12/2. My paradigm sub 15 feet would constantly rattle loose and make rattling noises. It did also change how much stuff rattled in the room too. They are a pretty cheap upgrade really and can be used with any sub.
my room is in my basement on a slab.the main reason I got my first pair was due to my paradigm sub feet coming loose after loud listening. The Svs feet never come loose. I also like how much room they give between the floor and bottom of the sub.compared to standard feet. I dont think it changed the sound in any way but I did notice with my first pair of svs feet on my paradigm it changed at what volume things rattled in my basement and what rattled. I use them on all my subs after that. I just really like how beefy they are and the clearance they give.
Anyone here have experience with Marty subs? Im building an 18" cube right now and I'm not sure whether to get anti-vibration pads or find feet for it. It's just difficult to find good feet since the sub is about 200lbs. If you have experience with this, please let me know!
It depends on your floor construction, not the sub, if you need any kind of isolation. If it’s concrete slab you need nothing other than whatever you want for looks or ease of moving. Otherwise 6 svs feet would be great.
Perhaps I am waaaaaay late to this video party, but have you done any test with the mic, using same test scenario but on the other side of your glass doors or partitions? I would be curious to see what is passing though versus reflected. It appears that your testing is very thorough but I wasn't sure if measuring on the other side of the glass would have any impact using stock versus the new SVS rubber feet. I use these on my SVS subs as well and I too notice a huge reduction in vibrations to items hanging on the walls. I only have sealed subs in my room, so it was interesting to see these test on the various subs. Good job.
Sorry I don't understand the graphs. Which type of feet has the least vibrations? I have the svs pb2000 with the isolation feet and my walls and doors vibrate. I'm trying to reduce that. Thanks
The graphs doesn't show it because that measurement was taken from the air not the floor. The vibration rattling the furniture mainly comes from the floor. There are two different vibrations: the sound in the air and the vibration in the floor. If your measuring device is in the air it won't show the vibration in the floor.
El Duderino when watching a movie, my doors and walls vibrate. Probably even the pipes behind the walls and ceiling are also vibrating. My floor is concrete with vinyl flooring on top. I put two layers of thin foam underneath the sub but it made no difference. So it must be the air. Can’t stand the vibrations i hear during a movie
Great Video man. Thanks for taking the tedious time to do this. Can you post a link to the results or a screenshot, next time I recommend showing screenshots as it's hard to see the graphs on your tv screen and kind of negates all the awesome work you do. Then we can just pause the video on the screenshots to see the graph as you do.
I only recently found your channel, great stuff! i use the SVS feet on a fully sealed custom sub. measurement wise there's very little difference between feet and spikes but i do see a significant reduction in window rattles that are proximate to the sub location. i wonder if the SVS feet would make any difference on your PSA subs? they have decent feet on them anyway and the sheer sound pressure those PSA's can produce is probably beyond what the SVS feet could remedy but if you still had a set it might be an interesting experiment to see if it could further silence room rattles?
@@COGuyStuff Excellent! those PSA's definitely are beastly! As a fellow Floridian I understand your accommodating for our "exacting" construction standards! I had great sympathy when you did your attic exploration running your atmos speakers.
This may be true of SVS feet but it's just not true of other isolation bases for speakers. Speaker vibrations reflect off of floor into the room volume. This has been tested by Credo. Lastly, I also hate when you're wrong. 😁
Got a question for you the size of a driver make a big difference and how much base you get basically I'm trying to figure out if it's better to have two smaller subs or one big sub thanks in advance for any help you can provide greatly appreciated😊😊
@@TheNLHAZE What is it you want exactly more bass, tighter bass? A large driver in a large box will generally give you more sensitivity and less distortion than a smaller driver in a smaller box so louder with less power. I prefer two very large subs (I use two 21" in stereo and two 24" in Home Theater) instead of say four smaller ones. I find the bass driver disappears and bass sounds larger and blends better with the left and right speaker.
@@carlosoliveira-rc2xt I love the sound of your setup that's exactly what I would want I have two SVS PB 14 nowhere close to what I want can you please point me in the direction to buy what kind of setup do you have what website do I need to go to in search of the same subwoofer size an amplification to go with it thanks for your response.👍🍺👍
I screwed my custom made powered subwoofer right to the hardwood flooring to get as much bass output & vibration as possible threw the floor. I had to screw it to the floor actually to keep it from moving & unplugging the power cord on me.
I thought the isolation kit for the pb4000 had 6 feet. I only saw you had 4. Great video. I do use the packaging foam for my isolation wrapped in some black fabric for my pb4000's. I don't know if it does anything. I have carpet over concrete
Ditch the feet and try the Auralex Subdude-HT. My subwoofer came with rubber feet and it was still dancing on my vinyl floor. After the Subdude platform all the vibration is gone and I gained +1 dB of output in the post calibration trims. Everything sounds a lot tighter and no more sub dancing.
The microphone was in your listening position in ear height in the air. The furniture took over the vibration from the floor mostly not from the air. I know your floor is very solid but it still transfers some vibration from the subwoofer if it is not isolated. The rattling is a proof of it. The graph won't show the difference because the vibration in the air (the sound) was the same. The isolation helps to block the vibration going into the floor but it seems it doesn't do too much (it doesn't have to) with the sound. If you could check the vibration in the floor with and without the isolation you would see a much bigger difference. Bottom line is the claim from SVS that their isolation changes the sound is not true but the claim that it stops the rattling is true. Because the second part is true it effects your experience positively because you cancel one big annoyance. This gives you the illusion that the sound is better although the graph can't confirm it. This is good enough for me to buy(or build) isolation. In my case the difference will be bigger because my floor is not solid like yours.
Of course you're an SVS guy! Great video. I'm planning to try the feet on my PB13 Ultra. Hoping it reduces room rattle while maintaining the physical punch and chest-rumble that I love about the sub.
So what was the take away? I built a 17x17x17 vented cabinet out of solid oak. Flared port, vertical and lateral internal bracing. Empty cabinet weighs 44lbs. Installed a DD9510 (49lb) 10" subwoofer making the entire 17" cube nearly 100lbs. The amifier is NOT in the cabinet. It is powered by a Crown 1500W Amp. I need feet for this. I see some feet cost hundreds of dollars. Is there much of a difference just putting this on the floor with (4) $0.10 cent 1/8" litte plastic discs, vs (4) $300 isolation pads?
Nicely done. I don't suppose you heard a difference? Any cork sniffing sonic comments? I spiked a seperate subwoofer amplifier into concrete and boy did that sound bad. The built in isobaric subwoofer liked cones a lot, but it was full range speaker so not the same. Your results have convinced me to leave standard feet on SVS. I'll add that in tweaking the positioning of my two less SVS subwoofers that with music (Atmos) one could hear subtle differences by moving the sub around in its chosen area and finding the best spot down to the MM (no measured difference on REW of course). REW got me in the area, but still worth a little time if you have the patience to find the best spot by ear. Seems like your are close to trying minidsp HD unit or maybe some the SVS parametric settings. Are you on LFE mode to bypass these?
I didn’t catch your previous video so I’ll just ask the question. So this video was to prove that the isolation feet do not stop rattling or improve sound quality? I pretty much guessed that when I bought my second SB16 and number one, found that the one without the isolation feet sounded more solid and two, the rattling was the same with or without the feet. But I’m guessing this is what you are trying to prove.
Maybe try some bobble head figures, to show the movement. But great video. Didnt u get a sony x900h 85 inch? Ive got a 65 inch, but gave it to grandparents n got a CX 65 inch. And few months later im getting SVS 5.1, the good one, PRIME center. Prime bookshelf's, Prime satellites, and a SB-1000 Pro. With the YAMAHA RX-v6a with Earc, but it cant take banana plugs. And may i suggest AudioQuest HDMI (carbon & vodka) and get an OLED, it will change your life.
You went to a lot of trouble for this one. How do you connect your unique one to your laptop via HDMI or analog audio just a question as I’m having difficulty setting mine up. Do you worry about all that bush and trees around your property here in Oz we are having terrible bushfires lost over 300 homes and 21 deaths since November last year
Look, let me be honest, if I were grading you for a presentation examination, I would give you a 100% marking. With that said, I'm using my small svs sb1000 subwoofer in a tiny room for a basic home theatre and it spews out too much deep bass especially in movie mode that you wall, floor and everything vibrating. Neighbours aren't impressed. I've placed underneath the subwoofer a quality soft gel pad (originally intended for in car seat back support) to help isolate the vibration. This trick hasn't made too much of any difference and if it does then it could be very little. I'm now planning on buying an inflatable air pillow to deposit underneath the subwoofer. What do you think? I can't be bothered with the sort of computer sound testing you've done because I do not have that software. Thank you

Dog at the laptop made my day! My dog is also a bright minded breed and sometimes actually watches with me!
is it better to use 3 instead of 4? 1st off you wont wobble, (tripod principle)
and second now theres only 3 points of contact
I guess, if the sub is light enough and you don't mind drilling a hole. Solves a non-existent problem though.
Does these work for floor standing towers as well or only subs??
You should test isolation springs

I have a PB13 & SB13 and put the isolation feet on both. The feet really do make a difference. Atleast with my setup with all hardwood floors
i believed it when you knocked on the floor and the doggo confirmed and approved that it is indeed solid

No

The amifier is NOT in the cabinet. It is powered by a Crown 1500W Amp.
I need feet for this. I see some feet cost hundreds of dollars.
Is there much of a difference just putting this on the floor with (4) $0.10 cent 1/8" litte plastic discs, vs (4) $300 isolation pads?
Great test and even better dog.

With that said, I'm using my small svs sb1000 subwoofer in a tiny room for a basic home theatre and it spews out too much deep bass especially in movie mode that you wall, floor and everything vibrating. Neighbours aren't impressed.
I've placed underneath the subwoofer a quality soft gel pad (originally intended for in car seat back support) to help isolate the vibration. This trick hasn't made too much of any difference and if it does then it could be very little.
I'm now planning on buying an inflatable air pillow to deposit underneath the subwoofer. What do you think? I can't be bothered with the sort of computer sound testing you've done because I do not have that software. Thank you
No you definitely do not want a pillow or anything else that soft. There are plenty of very inexpensive isolation feet on amazon, just buy a set.
Ok thank you
I'd imagine the spring 'eats' up the vibration, a glass of water would be better.
I just saved $50. My house has ceramic tile on concrete.
What a cute puppy :) I love your setup and house too, very nice and well done!
I thank the main reason you're testing on a concrete floor your not going to get any movement from the floor.
You should test without feet!
How would I walk?
