So Far

Thanks everyone. It's hard to change too much because this is the main room in my house.
It's an old house, I rent it but I love it, best part it's far enough away from most people I know so they don't stop by. Lol . I like it that way. I've been back in nj for over 2 years now and most of the people I know don't even know I'm around. Hehehe.
Anyway Doug you are 100% right on the snappers needing to breath ,
It's hot over there. New rack will cure that.
This is an old lagoon house probably not built to live in year round . Therefor the power is not so great but I do have some extra slots in the box to run a couple dedicated lines.
I'm glad I started this thread now going foward I have a place to put everything.
Get some opinions as well . Thanx !!!!!!!!
 
Sorry I am late to the party..LOL ..Been busy

Looks great ! DO you get a lot of bounce on the tile floor though ? Just curious..:weird:
 
yes i do in both ways. sound bounce and bounce when i walk around the table. sound bounce has got better since i added the big fluffy couches, and the $17.99 indoor/outdoor carpet from home depot, lmao!!!! i got gray instead of astroturf green. hahaha!!! still not great but way better than it was.
and floor is bouncy because this old house has issues, but the rack has gotta weigh in at 200 at least, and i put it on rubber pads, and now i have no bounce that will skip a record, even if i try. and making those speaker stands out of the heaviest oak i could find and making them big enough to hold near 2-50lb bags of sand each really helped also and now they are sturdy enough for all the bass them little kefs pump out, and its alot.
thanks

Perhaps it's the pics but I'm digging your rack! Love the notched legs and lines.

thanks , there is a diy thread on how i built it. the notched leggs were the hardest part and they are not right. if i was going to keep it id get more 2x4 oak and recut them with a table saw with a dado blade. using the jigsaw was not a good idea. i also cracked a couple and had to cut new. that red oak is super hard, it dont want to be cut. and im not sure maple would hold up that much weight. if i had a real workshop i might have got into the audio furniture bizz by now. its a lot of fun building them. and thanks again.
