Title: Make my subwoofer woman friendly
Post by: zerodeefex on March 11, 2013, 03:38:56 AM
Short and sweet:


Please, pirates, tell me that someone has an option for covering my subwoofer while it's doubling as a side table that will protect the finish and not get me thrown out of the house   :)p7. Life with just 2 CRM-2s and nothing filling in the low end is killing me.

How about some adhesive film that won't leave residue when you remove it?

I was thinking contact paper. I guess I could cut it down to size, but I don't think I'm going to do a great job of that. It might look like  poo

Does it have to be a complete covering? I mean, you could just stack a book on top, or a coaster and a plant or something like that. Maybe a sheet of clear plastic cut to size? (cheap from a hardware store, or even just some plastic from a window kit at the dollar store) You wouldn't even need adhesive as the plastic should provide enough stick all by itself.

Hmm, let me see if I can find something that large. Part of the problem is that the agreement was that I was providing an end table that just so happened to double as a subwoofer :)

How about a nice and heavy wooden or marble slab? Then it'll just look like a plain ol' tabletop and none will be the wiser, plus the extra bonus of weighing down the sub. You could even pick something to match the decor of the room.

Slab of glass cut to fit with rubber feet under it will keep the shiny look and keep it protected.

Or get some acrylic cut to size from Tap plastics to fit.  They can put a nice bevel on the edges too. same deal with some rubber feet under it to keep it in place and protect the top. 

Both allow you to keep using it as an end table.

Horrible, yet aptly named.

So the joke is it's woman-friendly because it's pink?

Great options (other than the pink woofer, I'm pretty sure the lady would flip).

I'm going to head to tap plastics to fabricated a top for the thing and affix rubber feet. Thanks, guys! :)p7

Not just pink, also has "cute" tiny spiders painted on the spider, corrugated mylar membrane and other such silly ornaments. :gross: I haven't heard it, but I suspect it sounds as good as it looks.

Something like this can make a nice cover for your subwoofer when it's not time for phat beatz.

I love the low level detail that rug is exposing. Plankton, metazoan, protozoan, all there.

I'm trying for full-on mixotricha paradoxa in my system.


Where's LFF?  Just named his flagship-to-be.
