Cabinet vibrations

[domtweaker]

Is it a bad idea to position the mid satelite on top of the sub section ?

would the vibrations from the sub box beneath it cause unwanted vibrations that will be bad for listening ?

It can be. The best solution is to make the sub nice and strong and heavy. You can use isolation between them but you'd have to make sure you get it tuned below the sub's operating band or you'll find your mains wobbling in tune with the subs.

would it be better to incorporate the two cabinets into one ?

I could use spikes on the bottom of each sub and satellite as well .

Wilson puppies are done that way .

I posted somewhere here, that if you need to check if your woofers are causing vibration in other drivers, to put a multimeter across your drivers, then play some heavy bass.

If the drivers are being excited, you'll see a voltage. That's because the EMF in the driver will cause voltage to show. Can also be used to check for air pressure leaks between the bass chamber and the other drivers.

How do you separate the effects of vibration from the fact that air pressure will also cross-talk to the other drivers? (A speaker is a microphone.)
