Not A Gimmick
These isolation feet are amazing, a little pricey but they actually do work. I thought they were a gimmick, I was wrong. I have 2 SVS SB12-NSD's sitting on hardwood floors in our living room and while how incredible these subs sound, they sent vibrations throughout our entire living room and up through the walls as well which vibrated anything attached to our walls including pictures and fixtures. Did some research and found that isolation pads helped to reduce or eliminate these vibrations and also help to improve the sound quality of the subs, I didn't really care for how they looked especially since they were wider and longer than my subs. From further research I stumbled across these SVS isolation feet and they were a few dollars cheaper than the isolation pads so I thought I'd give them a try and just return them if they didn't really help. I can say this much, I'm definitely not returning them! They actually work, the vibrations are pretty much gone and they really did improve the sound quality of the bass. As a bonus, I can turn the volume up louder and the bass stays nice and clean. I also checked with my neighbor and he's hearing a lot less bass coming from our place, even when i have the volume up higher. These are definitely keepers, I just wish that SVS included these standard on their subs, considering SVS has premium products along with premium prices, I don't think it would kill them to just have these on all their subwoofers :)

Works great with Velodyne DD-15. Less rattles around the house, and tighter, accurate, and more efficient bass output.
I use a Velodyne DD-15 sub for mainly home theater use on hardwood floors and experienced lots of rattling around the house during energetic movie scenes. I took a chance on these isolators based on positive reviews as well and the fact I could return if not satisfied. Let's just say I'll be keeping these. Not only are most of the rattles gone, but I was also able to get the same output level with a slightly reduced volume on the sub using the built-in EQ system. This may be due to less energy being transmitted through the floor of the house. Bass seems to be a bit more accurate and focused, and this might just be because I'm not hearing the house rattle as much. I'm very pleased with these and highly recommend. Photo shows the SVS feet compared to the stock Velodyne units.

Don't hesitate, just buy them 👍
I hesitated at first, due to the price when factoring in the import duties 😳 and freight charges to Thailand 🇹🇭 😕, not to mention the exchange rate, and that I needed 2 packs as I have 2 Subs. But, these insulaters are worth every baht I played for them. The rattling from inside the ceiling is "gone" and after having done a before and after test with two of my reference bass test soundtracks ( Every Woman, Whitney Houston and Buffalo Soldier, Bob Marley) I can tell you the SVS Isolaters have made a tangible improvement to (both) of my Klipsch R10SW Subs. Both the tightness and attack of the subs has been improved substantially. The Isolaters are about twice the height of the Klipsch original feet, which as well as all the benefits listed above, has one other side benefit, the subs look better now 😉. Fitting of the feet to the 2 subs only took about 10 minutes total. One of the best sound quality improvements, bang for baht I've made to my surround sound system to date. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes!!! As a result of trying to be considerate to my neighbors, I bought these bad boys to decouple the sub from the floor in the bedroom... I got ALL OF THAT and MORE. A total win-win. All of that booming and rattling and shaking have been overcome.

Great upgrade for any sub; worth your hard-earned money
Good upgrade for any sub. I have a new Klipsch 10" wireless sub. Works well. Took off the stock feet and put these much, much nicer feet on it in about the time it took me to write this - namely, seconds. Recalibrated the sub. Wow. Noticeable difference. Bass is cleaner, tighter. No extraneous vibrations of the wall or floor at loud volume. Even my wife noticed the improvement. Plus the feet look great; very high end. Add about 1.5" to the height of the sub compared to old feet. A great upgrade for your sub. Highly recommended.

Subwoofer in an apartment!
I have a Vizio 54" 5.1 soundbar with a 8" subwoofer, but it has always been turned off. I live in a 4 plex and someone lives under me. They said it was too loud even at the lowest setting so I just kept it off for months. I did a little research and came across these little gems. With a slight hardware mod for my subwoofer, I'm back in business! The bass is so deep, and tight. No more booming on the walls. I text my neighbor downstairs and asked if it was too loud, to which he replied "is what too loud?" YES!!! I have found the solution! The best $50 ever spent on home audio!

Highly recommended Sub isolators.
Excellent product for vibration isolation. The enclosed picture demonstrates the difference between the old foot for my Polk subwoofer compared to the installed SoundPath subwoofer isolator. Prior to installation, the subwoofer would literally move across the floor and vibrate incessantly. My listening environment is not ideal for the sub; we have tile floors this has been an issue. Once this has been installed, the sub will for his remain solid. There's been no excessive vibrations. And it has remained in the same position. Installation of this product has been a breeze, it comes to several's different sets and sizes of bolts.

I wear $50 shoes so don’t scoot me
Terrific for the right rooms. I have a basement with a concrete floor with wood laminate over the top of the concrete. Many reviews say it’s great for wood but not concrete..... well I wasn’t sure what category I was in. I know that it does make a difference on my floor. It didn’t stop all rattles, but it reduced the rattles enough that I could increase the -dB on the PB-3000. My wife actually noticed and couldn’t normally give a rip. There is your truth factor. So if you have wood laminate and you’re getting bounce from the floor, this will do the trick. Just the slight elevation and the rubber shock absorbers are all my sub needed. One word of caution. For $50 you best pick your sub up and not scoot it. Rubber scooted will more than likely tear. Don’t risk it. If you have the 175lb and above sub... that’s your fault. They are cool sounding but picking them up and moving them are no joke. I’ll stick to my 86lb sub. 😉

Makes you wonder why other SW companies cheap out here...
I've bought these twice for two other mfr's SW's as the feet on them were much harder, like PVC with plasticizer added in. Just too much bass rumbled through the house bouncing my wife around on the couch while she was reading. In the interests of connubial bliss I opted for putting out the $$ for a set of these for the SW I used the most in my garage setup and liked the effects so much I bought another set of EIGHT for some JBL JRX-125 speakers I use (in the - detached - garage) BUT being as wide as they were, the base of the speakers being relatively narrow, I didn't think they were as stable as I'd need/want so I returned them, eventually wound up buying another set of four for a second SW, just using standard speaker cabinet hard rubber feet for the JBL's. There ARE other options, other companies making sound isolation feet, you could spend ten times as much and who knows if what you're buying will work as well as the SVS SW isolation system. Honestly, If I had a few hundred thousand dollars invested in home audio gear (yeah, it's possible) instead of "just" a few thousand (maybe seven), I'd just let the shop doing the installation use their discretion selecting whatever their sound measuring equipment said to use and never look at this price, but I'm not that wealthy. For the average home audio user, I think these are fine. SWMBO (my wife) thinks so too.

Excellent
Yes, they are a little expensive for what they are. However, they are very well made, look great, and are designed specifically for the purpose of isolating a subwoofer, unlike other dampening materials and feet. Made by SVS, I trust they know what they are doing. I am happy to see they are rather firm, not squishy like some reviewers reported. Nice solid support for my sub, not wobbly at all. With all the money we spend on electronics, another $50 is a good investment in my opinion. The hardware did not fit my Polk sub, but if you can't figure out a workaround, maybe you shouldn't buy these in the first place. My sub did not have threaded holes so I had to use wood screws. I added a small film of silicone adhesive and then screwed them in. Buy them, install them, and forget them, knowing you now have a great isolation system and you are maximizing the sound quality of your system. Only strange thing is why SVS does not include them with their subs by default.
