I have 2 or Mark Seatons "Submersive 1" subs in my room, the extreme low frequencies that they are capable of producing actually shake my anamorphic Isco III lens, Mark suggested that the lens and or projector be placed on some kind of Isolation platform, obviously I would need something thats fairly large in case I want to put both the projector and lens back on the same platform any ideas? heres a picture of the lens and projector.

Thanks for the link, I have heard about the subdude, however I believe the secret is in the pad/platform combo on a surface im not sure this would work in my application since my projector setup is more of a shelf application, any thoughts?

Maybe you can find something there. Or... You can send the sub to me. With my CRT
TV, I don't have that problem:p.

I have no suggestions, but that's a fantastic theater.

Even the foam that Auralex sells could work. Your just going to have to try some stuff.

I would re-evaluate the projector / lens mounting. From a quick glance at the pictures it looks like shelf mounting. The subs excite a small vibration in the walls that is amplified by the shelf brackets (cantilever) to the projector / lens.

Adding mass to the shelf and possibly placing it under tension could help. The tension could be acomplished like a gusset under tension by using wire to connect the end of shelf bracket down and back to the bracket wall mount.

Good luck
