So like a lot of people I have my speakers on my desk.

But they are very loud and vibrate the desk and everything on it

So I was thinking of some gel to dampen it out.

Rubber is,,, meh

It is not as good as gel in my mind.

Anyone know of a place to get it premade or off the shelf made for speakers?

It is mainly the sub woofer... Yes I have it on the desk.

Your sub should not be on your desk at all. Subs were designed from the ground up to be placed on the floor.

lol, I wouldn't want to do that personally, you could very easily damage things with heavy vibrations. Especially if your sub is powerful.

If you insist, then get like one of those gelled cushions you are meant to sit down on? Or four small gel pads to go under each foot of the sub.
