I'm in Spain right now - on my way home to the states. I got crazy for this speed bag thing over the last month while the DoD had me deployed on a ship. I was totally ass-out for weights to lift - but the gym on the ship had a speed bag.
So I attacked amazon.com and Dee with a vengeance - and I now have like three speed bags waiting along with the iBox and a new DeVille swivel.
I need to mount this correctly - and minimize vibration. My wife will kill me if it makes "too much" noise - but my bad electric guitar playing at ear bursting decibels has kind of set a very high bar to exceed - so maybe it won't be a problem.
I'll mount it on an outside wall - one of the weight bearing walls. I was gonna put three 4X4's up perpendicular to the wall studs and mount the iBox to that. However, I'm thinking that's overkill and may actually exacerbate vibration via excessively long lever.
What about 2X4's?
And - should I put a slice of carpet or rubber between the wood mounts and the wall? Would that help kill vibration and noise?
I know the sand bag trick ... but just looking for other ideas to mount this solid as a rock.
