    Speaker platforms for outdoors/grass field shows

    Lately, I’ve outdoor shows for a few shows and the ground hasn’t been flat lately.

    I am looking to build some small risers with adjustable legs to that I can place my subs on a level platform. I was thinking about buying some Biljax decks, but those are single person friendly to move around. I’ve been looking for the Biljax feet, but I can’t seem to find anything on them.

    I'm using: RCF HD12A or JBL SRX722 over JBL SRX718s with Crown IT's and dB Technologies DVX DM12 & DM15 on monitors; all controlled by Yamaha LS9-32. I have a bunch of other stuff too.

    I just made a couple of flats with plywood decks over 2 x 4 frames, painted them black and use the screw-jack feet from my scaffolding for leveling.

    There isn't a whole lot of adjustment on the Bill Jax feet (a few inches), most of the adjustment is accomplished with the legs.
    Once you learn how they can be a one man operation.

    Now, if you want real decks find some StageCo.

    Cut out plywood squares. Stack them on each corner and use a level. I have 3/4" and 1/4" thickness so I can get within 1/4" of level easily.

    I know there isn’t much adjustment in the Biljax feet (stage type). I was thinking that 4-6” worth of adjustment would be enough; I would use a low, mid, high hole setting and then the adjustable screw foot.

    I've acquired several of the plastic pallets that the beer venders use. These and a few leveling devices (4' strips of culled lumber from that Orange Place) and I'm pretty level.
