My SVS Sound Path Isolation System feet just arrived and I can confirm that they come with 3 different size screws, 1/4-20, 6mm x1.0 and 8mmx 1.25, the length is 20mm. If your sub has 5mm screws for feet now you could get some 5mm screws that are 20mm long to use. I'd recommend using a washer with the screws also since the hole is fairly large in the feet. Also you said you have 6 feet now but I'd just use the 4 SVS feet, no need for 6 of these. Thanks for the advice. Only 4 feet needed? Even thought my RS13 weighs 86lbs with length of 22". My SVS SB16 Ultra weighs 122lbs and it comes from SVS with 4 feet. But Emotiva saw fit to include 6 for a reason. It wasn't because they wanted to increase cost. |

But Emotiva saw fit to include 6 for a reason. It wasn't because they wanted to increase cost. As was mentioned many heavier subs have 4 (or even 3) feet, I guess it depends on if Emotiva went with 6 feet instead of 4 to put less load on the feet themselves or to help with the rigidness of their cabinet. My Klipsch RT-10d which is triangle shaped also has only 3 feet which were much more robust and substantial than the 4 tiny feet on my Velodyne. sub. The new SVS feet on both subs are now even more robust and substantial. BTW my Klipsch subs feet had 6mm screws when I installed them today, I used the original screws since they were longer than the ones SVS supplied and the threads did not start flush but had a bit of a countersink before the threads started so I thought the longer screws were best. Also I have noticed an increase in bass since installing the SVS feet that was enough that I did lower my subs volume. I also haven't heard a single room rattle caused by the subs so far, but haven't listened to any real bass intensive HT yet either. |

I just found a set of 4 at my local hifi shop and will fit later today and report back. I'm a little excited now after all your positive comments!

Used the M6 screws in the end and they fit perfectly. Def only needed the 4. I'm not lovin' it but I'm also not hatin' it. Makes me think I need to find something more chunky for my Dyn's.    |

Ok so there are some strange things going on here. As a footnote, the sub at the front of my system is bass management only ( I have another one for LFE only at the rear of the room). After changing over to the SVS feet on the front sub, I immediately noticed slightly more "accurate" bass but also a significant drop in volume level (at the listening position). In addition, I am now missing some of that lovely subtle low end that I found actually enhanced certain types of music. And if I increase the sub level it artificially enhances the bass which doesn't sound good (something I didn't have to do before). I believe I have positioned this sub in the sweet spot about 1m away from the corner of the room and I quite like the way it sounded prior to fitting the SVS feet. So I took the feet off and put back the budget anti vibration pads which I previously used (pic below). Now I can tell its not "Clinically correct" but I actually prefer the older "less perfect" sound, it compliments most pop, funk style music. I am going to try the feet on my LFE only sub located behind my couch in the other corner and see what this yields.  |

I believe this would be an excellent solution for “decoupling” any large bulky box subwoofer. You can move it around incrementally, raise and lower AND responses to SIRI. Way ahead of its time since 1977….  |
