Hi,
I had purchased Polk microPRO 1000 about couple of months back and I am happy with its performance, as it delivers very deep and powerful bass.
But sometimes when I play source with some heavy bass, and at higher volumes, the sub used to move around the floor, say 4-5 inches! Even though the sub weighs about 15 kgs this would happen! I have placed it on marble floor. I have tried adjusting the rubber feet and once even stuck them to the floor using powerful double sided 3M tapes. But still no luck!
So then I struck upon this idea of placing some good weight on the sub to prevent it from dancing around. At the same time it should look neat.
So these are two granite slabs of approx 17-18mm each, joined together and edges moulded. Total weight is about 10kgs. I have placed it on a non-skid grey coloured rubber mat. I have spent Rs. 650.00 and it's working like a charm. The sub stays put now. I am not sure if it has done any good or bad to the sound quality. hyeah:
I would be happy to receive comments from experts on how good or bad this idea is? Thanks.
