Vibration from in-wall subwoofer?
Question: I have an in-wall subwoofer driven by one channel of an old 85 watt-per-channel Yamaha receiver. The subwoofer vibrates quite a bit and I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to how to calm this down as its inside my wall. The grill comes off and it is possible to pad it somewhat...just curious if anyone has run into this problem and solved it.
Answers: There are multiple ways to pad a subwoofer to help reduce the noise caused by vibration.
I've seen solutions from people shoving insulation around it, to people cutting foam pads (used for packaging) and stuffing around it.
From what I get, you won't actually reduce the vibration. All you are going to do is reduce the effects of the vibration (the noise, the rattling, etc.)
You could also try lowering the output of your receiver depending on the model. I don't know too much about the Yamaha receiever so I can't say if this is a feesable solution or not.
Padding may help but I'm not sure...
i used an insulation spray when i had this problem i insulated all around the sub woofer and it stopped it almost completely
The previous 3 answers are good ones, but before you do any of those things, make sure that the sub woofer it self isn't rattling apart double check all its screws, connections, and gluing.
Subwoofers are meant to be placed on a slab floor. Base waves are long arcs of sound, there isn't any thing you could do with it placed or mounted on or in the wall.
Could be the woofer's volume is set too high. Turn it down. I have a woofer, too. I had that same problem, when I originally bought it. But not since then.
you can start by making sure your enclosure is reinforced, sturdy make sure that your woofer is not vibrating from loose screws or loose drywall after checking for that make sure you level is not all the way up your woofer might be meeting its excursion limit and so it sounds like noise. sound dampening might be your next step.
Sounds to me like your wall has fire blocks and if so, this will make your sub sound like a speaker box. No air for sound to travel, sound is nothing more than vibration. So that vibration travels into the walls and reverberates from within.
I think you need to add holes to allow air to flow.
I might be off base here. Use caution with this before cutting your walls up.
At least I tried.
