Has anyone ever made something for front fills or monitors to kick them up? Trying to find something on the internet, but I think it’s so much easier to find a diamond in the ruff!

A theater I worked in had short pieces of 2x4 that were spray painted black. They wrote "audio log" on them in silver sharpie. Worked pretty good!

We usually use 2x4's covered in black gaff, but who can afford that kind of luxury these days?

[Dave Garoutte]

You can take two 2x4s about the length of the depth of your speaker and cut a long arc in them.
Place the speaker in the two arcs and you can adjust your angle to suit.

2x4's, Audio Logic MT-44's, Sonic Maximizer's, DC-300's.............

I've used these in the past with good results but it does depend on the speaker and any angle it may have. There is a way to turn it over and get a different angle too. I haven't needed them in years but they did hold up fine for what they were.

Whatever makes you/PM comfortable. Then measure and adjust (or turn off).

The Sweetwater thing might be cheaper than the 2x4 solution nowadays.

[Steve Eudaly]

Those rubber, wedge-shaped door stops work quite well.

[Chrysander 'C.R.' Young]

Rubber wheel chocks with grabby bottoms often work for this task if the speaker has an angled back:
