I am trying to sell a box of 150 auralex U-boats, used for floating the floor joists of studio rooms. I bought these while friends and I were building a studio, halfway through finishing the project fell apart. This box has been opened but they have never been used. If anyone is interested please email me at brandon@pcnsnet.com about buying them, I paid almost $400 for the box from sweetwater sound here in Indiana, but I think the price has dropped to around $100 per 50qty. I have had them sitting in my closet now for a year with 2 failed attempts to sell on e-bay, so i'd be happy to be rid of them to a high bidder... E-mail me if interested =)

Thanks,
Brandon
 
It's probably so tuff to sell cuz you can buy a 15' strip of 60 Durometer Neoprene for $45.00 or so, depending upon region, which will do the EXACT job of your U-Boats......

I'm thinking about building a house in the next couple of years, and as part of that, I'd be building a studio, so there's some tentative interest, but I'm a bit confused by how one actually uses them.

Specifically, I'm wondering how one would make a wall sitting on top of these things actually be stable. I'm in earthquake country (SF Bay area), so the building code is horribly strict, and I'm wondering what keeps the wall from sliding around if it isn't nailed to the floor....

Thoughts?
 
simply put the fit on the underside of your studs that will support your floor in essence isolating them, via a dense rubber, from the flooring/concrete, etcc that you are floating your floor on.

They help reduce/eliminate flanking noise transmission that can occur/travel along a common flooring surface.....

I understand that. The question was, in an 8-point-something, what keeps these blocks from sliding right across the floor, and what keeps the studs from sliding lengthwise through the rubber? Are these nailed into the floor with the wall nailed into them or something?
 
They don't slide due to gravity/friction.

Don't forget how much a floor weighs.
