Looking for some subwoofer feet (cones)...

Marbles · « **on:** 12 Dec 2007, 06:51 pm »

Anyone know where I can get some 3" tall spikes, cones or feet for a subwoofer.

I found some at Mapleshade, but $150 EACH is a bit tough.

Thanks for any help.

Danny R. has them on the GR Research site for a very reasonable price.

If Danny's are 3" then I agree that's a great price for brass spikes.

I couldn't find 3" spikes, but here are two spikes at 2.15" and 2"

Danny's are only 1 5/8"

Still looking, thanks

As an aside, Danny has been VERY generous with his time and knowledge on this project. It is very much appreciated.

Only 2-1/2 inches but inexpensive, at Michael Percy's... http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf ...p. 18.

I have some extra new ones. 2 1/4 inches tall, almost 1 3/4 diameter, and weigh about a pound so they are pretty stout. Solid 360 brass, highly polished. I'll sell them for $15 each plus actual shipping cost from Butler Pa 16002. zmanbands@aim.com 724 283 8061.

That's a good deal and I appreciate it, but I need 16 feet (four subs) and I need them to match.

I also NEED them to be 3" tall.

I just ordered some feet.

Thank you Denny and Art for your assistance.

Well I have 20 of them. They are threaded 3/8x 16 and I'll supply the threaded studs free. That's if you have places on the bottom of the subs where you can screw in feet. Of course if you don't then the sub lies flat on the four cones. Why 3" tall. That maybe very hard to find unless you have them custom made and few would want to make just 16 without really charging a bundel. Will your subs be on carpet or hardwood floors or on a shelf? If you buy 16 shipping is free to USA.

Whoops, didn't see your post. Good luck with your cones.

Out of curiosity, what did you end up with?

I had some made that look like this without the black lines:

Thanks for the feedback. What you are showing in "your", picture above looks like what I have and if it's brass and 3" tall should be fine. BUT on their web site the pictures/shapes are quite different and they are made of aluminum???

2nd that, that's probably less than you can buy 1.5" diameter brass rod for...

Marbles · « **Reply #17 on:** 13 Dec 2007, 08:37 pm »

Joules that is a great find! Too bad I already sent the money. Those would have to be tapped for threads as well.

Joules · « **Reply #18 on:** 13 Dec 2007, 09:08 pm »

I use those under my woofs. They work pretty well.
The tops are flat with a single standard American 3/8-16unc threaded hole in the center.
The pic shows a string holder screwed in to that hole.

So quit being a whimp! Tate is a real person. I know I bought $600 in cones from him. Ask for your money back. Get the harbor freight plum bobs. And be blessed. Merry Xmas.
