Good Evening. So it appears I will be moving to a 3rd floor condo. No garage(grr.). On the water so its not so bad. The ubolt is behind me now and I really love the sound of the old everlast ball. The building is concrete structure. I will be on the corner so an outside wall will be available. You think there is a way to mount solid and not tick off the neighbors? I have been thinking about making a overkill platform if that would help??

That being said, I didnt believe the Everlast platform was sturdy enough to support this amount of weight for a long period of time, so I customized a Prime fighter 400 with a 6 inch-110lb Butcher block reinforced with a 1/4 inch- 30lb steel plate, added two additional support angles on top, and also an additional horizontal support. Bringing it to a safe, QUITE and sturdy 140lbs.
I havent had any complaints from any of the neighbors, they don't know I have a speedbag platform set up!Last edited by Bag-A-Holic; 09-03-2013, 08:45 AM.-Anthony

Originally posted by Bag-A-Holic View PostI had a similar situation. I originally lived in a single detached cottage, but since moved to an apartment with tenants above me. I had a old school everlast platform and experimented with different amounts of weight in a bin on top to see what would stop the sound/vibration. I had to put about 100 lbs on top to get it to a minimum.

!!! Dude, you need to see a doctor about your speed bag addiction. That is a SERIOUS speed bag man cave.
...and you might send Randy Ray of Primefighter sports a picture of your unique adaption to the PF-400. That is amazing work.Speed Bag

IMHO...
To me (and this is just my personal taste), I prefer a drum that is a little thinner (1 3/4" - 2") and really well braced (Like my vintage platform). WHY? Because the sound is just killer! When a platform is too thick or too weighted-down, you lose that great drum sound...and it's all about the sound to me. I think they were on to something way-back-when!
Now, I know this doesn't apply to this post...and you need something quiet. A thick drum will do that.

...and No, you can't have it! I've decided that I will be burried with it....or 'will' it to Paranday for safe keeping.
