5.0 out of 5 stars Pricey, but it works very well ..., August 25, 2009

This review is from: Auralex SubDude Subwoofer Isolation Riser; 15x15x2-inch SubDude in Charcoal, Single (Electronics)

I have been living a long time with a logistical and acoustical nightmare as related to my old boomy sub, and this little gem virtually removed all the extraneous noises my room was prone to when the sub went swimming at the bottom. It also eliminated more than 50% of the boominess. As far as being tight and musical and all of that other marketing rot, you'll need to make your own call.

As far as looks, you wife or decorator won't like it. For the price - Auralex should offer a few primary colors other than charcoal or the HD Black (which is $10+ more). So if you need it, don't ask - just get it and ask for forgiveness.

Price - if Auralex had any competition in the acoustical market space, it should be priced at half of what it's going for. Its acoustical foam - not a travertine tile. But it works and you suck it up. For the future if you stay in the compact sub arena (13-16 in. cubes) you'll be set. If not, you'll need 2, and possibly a good divorce attorney.

I purchased this because I thought it would help keep my subwoofer from bothering the downstairs neighbors. I think it ended up succeeding in that as well as making my Sub sound better as well. There are many positive reviews you can find for the product in many places, so I won't go on at length here except to agree.

I have 2 Definitive Tech Supercube Reference Subwoofers and these things pack a pretty heavy duty punch with their 1,800 watt amps, and that is 1,800 watts each for a total of 3,600 watts of subwoofers alone. But I had issues with them shaking the house and making ugly vibrations and resonating pretty badly. At first I put a 3 inch peice of styrofoam that came in their boxes under them and that helped out alot and made a huge improvement, but it just looked really horrible to me and started to irritate the hell out of me! So after about 2 days with the styrofoam I ordered a pair of these for my Def Techs and it alleviated my problems by 70%! Bass is much much more precise and is way more powerfull without destroying the house unless I decide to go overboard with the volume and harass the neighborhood. Now I get that silent bass that you don't hear but feel it pressurizing the house and room. before the risers I would get that bass but it didn't seem silent because it rattled everything, even inside the walls. I think if they where about 10$ less they would be a perfect deal because the materials just don't seem to be that expensive but they are built very very well and are really sturdy and strong I am around 200 lbs and can stand on them with noe issues. The only issue and it really can't be called an issue is that my subs are around 17x17 and the risers are 15x15 so the subs hang of the edges by about an inch on all sides, but you cant see that. The 2 inch height is very nice and sleek you can't really tell the riser is there unless you walk right up to them. For being such a simple device they do an amazing job and do excactly what they claim and where intended to do! This was an excellent purchase!
