if not use kitchen paper roll, that one usually is taller and thicker. i tried with my R501 before, but takes up too much space.

how i test is play same music with exactly the same volume on both speaker and PC. with those thing my ceiling light did not rattle. without it will rattle.

simply put, example with legs 50% volume it will rattle, without it 44% volume already rattle playing same song. it may not be significant for everybody, but it is better than nothing for me...

yeah correct. also for lifting and sliding subwoofer easier.

actually, it works just like the metal or rubber spike. it's just not as effective since it has larger area of contact. but if you flip the bottle cap (unlike my picture) it will be much better i guess. im gonna try it again since i can get alot of bottle cap for free (drinking daily).

you can just try it. no harm done, very easy and cheap also

put something below sub as a feet, see my pic on previous page

im not sure if that works. but my purpose is so i can lift the sub easily, and minimize the contact of subwoofer to the floor. as you can see in one of the pic i used one hemisphere rubber feet which works pretty good reducing little vibrations. can't get anymore of that i decided to use chair leg guard and water bottle cap

bgm2000 > change wire to thicker one for subwoofer? i may want to replace to thicker one but don't know how thick i need to put it. too thick also i think no use since this is only PC speakers.

the subwoofer is still on the floor. just a few cm higher. mainly to reduce little vibrations, when you're listening in medium volume. of course if the subwoofer is too small then don't bother.

yeah most PC speakers have feet installed. some even have them screwed.

lol sit at the subwoofer? i sit on mine couple of times, just scared i will break it. i guess thin MDF are not meant to withstand my body weight and subwoofer force

i actually once put my subwoofer on top of my one-seat sofa. the sofa only has 4 small steel leg. diameter probably 3cm. the sofa has been pulled away so it is not in contact with any walls. i thought it should have helped reduce some vibration. nope, it still vibrates alot. people above keep complaining.. tired of it, downgrade speakers after that.

how is your M1335? enjoying it? i actually never heard it but i guess it would be similar to its predecessor, M1310. i bought one for my friend long time ago... very good for budget speakers.

i have probably posted earlier, the daughter of the ppl above complained that the bass goes into her unit and the floor is vibrating. at first i couldn't believe it since it was just a 8" subwoofer. but after i went out from my room i can feel that the vibration is great, so well, decided to downgrade. to make up for the not-so-great bass in my small bedroom i opt for 4.1 or 5.1 surround speakers. Edifier R501 was purchased then.

as for the sounds, it's difficult to get a good sound in a very small bedroom. i have to use it in not-so-big living room (where i put it on the sofa) and the sound is much better. so when i just moved house, i spent some time to try the subwoofer in some rooms and some corners. relocating the subwoofer to a 'sweetspot' really enhanced the sound. the problem is not all the sweetspot is a feasible place to put the subwoofer (i.e. behind the door). it is what stopped me from making any mod to any of my PC subwoofer, due to the fact i understand it is not in a sweetspot position to begin with.

that's how it begins i start to use small hemisphere rubber feet with the thought of reducing vibration. it certainly reduce but very little amount of vibration. well, better than nothing, at least when i use in my hometown the difference is noticeable.

wow. i heard M3400 but for a while. it was very long time ago, but i decided to get M3300 because of the looks honestly. i hate cube-ish subwoofer but now end up almost all my speakers subwoofer shaped like cube...

but after all it's sounds that matters, so now i don't care how my speakers looks as long as it sounds acceptable to me. M1335 bass not enough? can always try foobar or use toilet paper roll

haha yeah im a basshead. but i guess im not hardcore enough, i got a friend whom i sell him a VS4121. when i sold him VS4121 i told him, why u like this bass a, its obviously too boomy, i showed him my ADA885 as well. he say nvm la i like boom2 bass.

actually not all 8" sub is powerful. Z2300 probably yes, i guess it's a bit more powerful than Z Cinema that i own (it uses similar enclosure size, port and driver), but for Edifier i think they are not so obsessed with bass so things like my old Edifier R501 or Edifier C3 is not anywhere that powerful. probably watt play important role too, but not so much. im more interested in how deep the subwoofer goes in various PC speakers' brand.

if you can try to listen to a klipsch GMX 2.1 or Creative T3, they only use 6.5inch sub but you wouldn't believe it. i am still yet to listen to Z2300. so i don't know exactly how good it performs. M3300 satellites is really good, they should have paired it with M3400 or E3100 subwoofer instead.

yeah well M3300 is overbright. the sub is tuned too high that's why cannot shake the heart. i got similar speaker with 30W 5.25" sub and it pawns M3300 subwoofer. i believe if M3300 tuned lower it can be as good.

actually for small one-person bedroom, i think 100W subwoofer is sometimes overkill. unless the room acoustic is good, the room will probably already very boomy at 60hz and above the sub hardly do any job. for big room for example, it would have to do really good job to show the performance. i used to be very satisfied with 60W subwoofer AL ADA885. hardly crank the volume up, and never had any complain using it.

for S530 definitely pawned by Z2300 in terms of subwoofer. the thing is, Z2300 focus on THX cert and subwoofer, so all that is left is crappy 2.5" fullrange satellite. S530 have better remote control (digital + infrared remote) and better satellites, so the subwoofer is not as good.

my guess is the amplifier is the culprit. i have not tried connecting other amp into it, but im pretty sure the box and driver is not that bad... im lazy to bother about my modded M3300. now i just order a 12V lithium rechargeable battery for my Creative Inspire 2400. i plan to install it in my bathroom, since there is no electrical socket. im trying to get some of my speakers to work, got too much speakers to play now... some of them only kept in closet...

Corsair SP2500 seems to be good, i read some mixed bad and good reviews about it. I would pick it over S530 anyday.

haha not really that good pulling off the electricity from above. just want to be safe. anyway its just small speakers run on 12V DC, the lithium battery should be okay liao...

i see only very few bad reviews about it, mainly about the lacking in midrange. the rest all users are satisfied. if you can get it at good price then just get it... agree the subwoofer looks ugly. if i have it probably put some stickers in it

ah very good find. no wonder the sub is too weak...

yeah i think so. it's around M3300 in terms of power just is not as bright. look at the amp you'll realize it's very small.

because the remote control infrared uses same wavelength but different code.

well that's good so if one button spoil still got one backup.
