Best way to mount a subwoofer on a CNC mill

I got myself a set of $27 Logitech speakers with a little subwoofer. I am not really expecting miracles, but I think that they will provide acceptable sound.

My question is what is a good place to mount a subwoofer, to avoid any harmful effects of vibration on the mill or its electronics.

It is not a huge subwoofer, weighs about 5-7 lbs or so.

Set it on top of the mini-fridge.

Sub-woof of course! In a corner formed by two walls and the ceiling. (ducking incoming...)

And in the sub-basment as well! ;-)

I'd mount it midway between the curb feeler :)

Yer puttin' out the lows to harmonize with the higher frequencies made by the cutter, are ya, Ig?

In the garage, the thin walls will reverberate and share all that thumping with all his neighbors. Won't -he- be the talk of the neighborhood?

Youtube or X-tube? What do you need a subwoofer for? Youtube likely only uses the telephone freq range, 300Hz-3kHz.

No, it does use lower frequencies, I just checked with the subwoofer downstairs.

That's quite light for a base driver. How much does the cabinet weigh?

Was that you that stopped behind me at the traffic light yesterday? I thought the car was ailing, so much loose sheetmetal was resonating

Doubtfully a car can hold up well, with those giant subwoofers mounted to play rap music.

I think not. This was a 10-year old Altima and it sounded awful. Took me a minute to realize that it wasn't a defective exhaust, but the interior and exterior panels resonating, and not happy about doing so.

Will a Bridgeport, tin resonance should be a non-issue.

Great, you can rattle the walls at your neighbors house. I hate hearing a sub woofer half a mile a way.

They covered this last month on an episode of "Pimp My Mill", it was between the shows on installing gold plated crank handles & the one on replacing the work light with a HID projector c/w a smoke tinted lense.

You can probably catch on next week's re-runs.
