speakers vibrating the wall
well i took some advice from here and built soffits for my monitors but they are shaking the wall and dont sound nearly as good as when the monitors are on stands. im wondering if auralex mopads will make that much of a difference? doing so means im gonna have to cut the wall about 2 inches above the current position to make em fit which brings me to wonder if i just had my monitors on the mopads without any kind of soffit, would that stop the vibration from carrying over to the wall itself. help

That could very well help. From the threads I've read here (checkout the sticky on the page on "Flush Mounting" and also track down Kendales studio construction pictures) it seems that an important factor is decoupling the structure that your monitors are supported from and the structure supporting your baffle plate. Putting the monitors on stands anchored to the floor would accomplish this.gdaddio wrote:not really, i also thought about cutting out the speaker box entirely and put some stands back there and set the monitors on the stands and make them flush with the wall, does that sound like a good idea?

I'm curious whether this re-design would work... if the answer is yes, could anyone elaborate on the blueprint of such a design ?

Re: speakers vibrating the wall
The speakers shouldn't be touching the front of the soffit.
It should be on a heavy stand whether that be brick or a wooden frame.
there should be no connection between the speakers and the wall.
Do you have a picture of your build?

Re: speakers vibrating the wall
What a coincidence. I am finding each and every question and answer over here although this question was first posted in 2007 (its been 4 years) and still its alive for me ( I think) . So, I have the same issue as Mr. gdaddio. Built a soffit and placed speakers but the sound is not as good as I was expecting and vibration is also there. For lilith_envy- Speakers are not touching the front of the soffit and there is heavy stand for it.

please update your profile with your location. thanks!
it would help if you could show what it was that you built (photos, drawings, detailed explanation, etc.)
