My simple booth mod

When i first bought MY CDJ i had no room to put it. Then i figured i had just enough space to put between the turntables and the mixer if raised them so the cdj would not keep tangled with the wires that are in back of the mixer. I was using sytrofoam for this:
This in turn looked gettho as hell. So off the Home Depot and used my knowledge of imagaination knew i could come with something if i saw it. It's when i came to the sewer pipe section that it hit me!
(1x) 2in wide x 2ft sewer pipe
(4x) rubber test plugs
(4x) screw on hard plastic plugs
With the 2ft pipe i cut them to (2x) 4 inch peices and (2x) 6 inch pieces.
Then i proceeded to drill a hole through the hard plastic so i can put bolts through them:
[NOTE: the white cable is not cut, just looks that way in the pic]
I put the two 4inch pipes in the front and 2 6inch pipes in the back
Now it's look really cool. VERY sturdy,NO wobbling, and NO vibrations at all.
With this setup i have EXACTLY enought room to put 2 turntables, a CDJ, and my mixer on a 47.5 inch (121 CM) table. Lastly i didn't like my speakers how they were in the first picture, so i got the angeled facing the "booth" hanging from the ceileing a little above standing head room. SOUND EVEN BETTER THEN BEFORE!
Any of you guys done any modifications or other things to improve the sound or setup in general? |

| Looks cool but is it stable and is there a chance those plastic pipe legs will tip over if the deck is bumped? Maybe screw the legs to a thin rectangular piece of plywood used as a base. |

Maybe I'm missing something, but in that first pic it looks bolted to the table. |

| I bolted the Hard plastic part (which of course through trough the table, but wood screws would do the same job) so that it doesn't move at all. I put the pipes on top of the hard plastic and it's good enough. The only way that CDJ is going to fall is somebody turn the whole table over. it's not going anywhere. Even when i forcefully try to move it, it doesn't. |
