Speaker stand filler

[Stu 299]

What do people use? I've looked at the Altacama product but it would cost me around 60% of the cost of the stands to fill them so looking for something cheaper. Maybe kiln dried paving sand? It's for Altacama Moseco 7. Cheers

I would use cheap builder's sand and dry it in an oven.

Good Morning. I've known folks to use gravel, sharp sand and small metal ball bearings - it's not really lead shot perse, essentially just tiny metal balls - a word of caution though, if the bag splits or you spill any during installation it is a pain to clear up.

Kiln dried sand for me.

Yeah the kiln dried sand seems simplest/cheapest. Thanks all.

Bought some Fire Sand instead. A few quid more but hopefully won't need drying out.

For those that cant find fire sand, Chinchilla sand is really good also, its proper fine so best to do it outside away from electronics

If course you could just squirt in expanding foam......
