Thumbs up for the Sub Dude

[Erik Tracy]

I picked up a Sub Dude based on some good hype in threads I've been reading.

Wow - it really did make a difference in SQ in my setup.

I've got my Epik Valor sub on my hardwood floor, on the front wall about 1ft away.

On the hardwood floor I was getting some good bass, but not as musical as everyone was claiming the Valor was capable of.

As soon as I put the Sub Dude underneath - noticable improvement in 'musicality' - cleaner definition of bass notes.

Does this make me a 'tweaker'?? :D

I had the same experience when I had a HSU MBM.

May I ask what a sub dude is and where can I get it from, because I have hardwood floors and would like to see would it make a difference in my sound. Thanks

I think you'll notice a difference - bass notes are tighter/more distinctive.

I'm using two of them with my Velo subs...wouldn't be without them. I've got pics of them in the 2 channel forum under "Dual" Velo's & pics. They really do make a world of difference, even on carpet.

I was looking for something like this for my micropro4000 which has a passive sub on bottom and during peaks you can hear it hitting the carpet.

I tried a piece of floor tile 18x18 and it walks off of it. This sub dude might work for me.:)

Just a FYI for anyone looking at them, they have a bunch of different ones in different sizes.

The GRAMMA is the same as the Subdude just a different color, some places have one cheaper then the other.

There is also the Great GRAMMA which is bigger then the GRAMMA, and Subdude HD which is smaller.

Swee****er offers 1st class service. I went through them a few times when putting my dedicated HT together.

Does this work with any sub. Would like my Velo DD15 benefit from one of these? It is on a thick carpet.

[MikeC78]

Yes, it will work with any sub. I'm sure any sub would benefit from one of these, it made a substantial improvement for me since mine were sitting on a hard wood floor.

[sandworms]

hey erik, i have a valor also, but noticed the subdude is much smaller than the valors dimensions. why didn't you go for the gramma, just wondering, cause i may spring for one or the other. whatya think?

[Poee7R]

I wonder how something like this would work for mains on hardwoods. I have a set of Martin Logan Sequel 2's on hardwoods, and I cant help but think these platforms may be a beneficial tweak.

If anyone has any experience with them in this regard, let me know.
