Diy speaker stands

If you care about the vibration of the stand affecting your audio get 4+" sewage pipe and fill it with sand or kitty litter, otherwise just slap some studs together brah

I was thinking that thick foam stuff but idk how wobbly it would become

>>1095404
Wouldn't those fat heavy monitors compress foam into uselessness over time anyway?

>>1095411
Not really, the audio foam stuff doesnt compress that much. Plus while you're idea to stop vibration is interesting im want a better looking thing

Can you weld? Or do you have a drill and a saw?

What kinda budget you got?


I can hook u up in se kansas for a case of beer and whatever shitty scrap u bring.

>>1095416
Cant weld but willing to learn. Budget isnt important, i have enough money. The only issue is size which isnt available at a nice height. Got drill and saws.

I appreciate theoffer (for welding?) and would gladly buy you a case but im not even on the same continent as you

>slap some studs together brah
this is what i did to get my speakers up off of the desk. i used 2x6 because i had some laying around. I painted them black, and put self stick rubber feet on the bottom and top so they wouldn't scratch my desk or speakers.

yes dimensional lumber, eg 2x4,2x6,2x8,2x10,2x12

>>1095594
I made these a while back, worked pretty well and wasnt expensive

How do they attach the pvc to the wood

>>1095623
Threaded rod down the middle.
Countersunk holes cut in top and bottom to fit the nuts and washers in

>>1095599

ugly though

>>1095653
You stain the wood and spray paint the PVC
It looks perfectly fine and you wouldnt even know they were /diy/

What's the smaller tube for? To get the speaker wire down to the bottom?

>>1095926
yes

>>1095840
Seeing this makes me question its stability

>>1095953
I weighted mine down with sand in the tube

>>1095420
Lol. Get a shitty Lincoln cracklebox/tombstone welder and find some junk metal. Get er done anon.

while this isn't helping you do /diy/ stuff, i have those stands in your picture and use them with some presonus eris e5s with auralex mopads under them (pic related, both the speakers and foam pads i use are in this picture) and they work quite well, so they are pretty nice. however, pretty much any sized stand you could come up with yourself works just as well. just make sure they are stable and i would recommend some foam pads to put under them.

>>1095390
OP those stand have a height adjustment, I have them at their lowest peg and they are still a bit too high

>>1095390
Anyone else notice the Dulce Air Base logo?

I bought a pair of speaker stands similar to your picture off gumtree for like £10.
