Remove the Rubber

[GordenMack]

I am trying to reduce the footprint of my rig and get it all to fit into my car.  I use a pair of L2M's, and have found that they almost fit perfectly inside a milk crate, if it weren't for the rubber pieces at the top / bottom of the speakers.

 

Is it possible to remove the rubber part, and be able to put them back on without permanently damaging the speakers?

 

My idea is to modify a pair of milk crates so they stand two-tall (the bottom removed from one of them).  This tow-tall milk crate set and would then slide over my L2M Speaker, if I can safely remove the rubber from one end. I can then use this two-set of milk crates as a stage stand for each speaker.

There are rubber inserts underneath the end caps.

End caps are to keep from damaging the top and bottom.

They also help minimize cabinet vibrations. It also acts to

keep the cabinet acoustically isolated to minimize acoustical

loading of the ground, floor or mounting surface being used.

 

Do not remove the end caps. If you do and the rubber inserts

get lost or damaged, acoustical problems can occur when you

try to mount or position the speakers for performance. And those

rubber inserts have to be re-installed correctly. If they are lost

or damaged, I don't know how easy it will be to replace them.

And they would have to be re-install by someone who knows

this product from the inside-out.

 

It will also mess with the overall EQ of the sound. The Modeling

is designed for the acoustics of the speakers as is. Modifying that

will change the EQ of you overall sound, and the sound artifacts

that go with it.

 

So, in a nutshell,... please don't do that. Please.
