Downfiring subs on carpet?


I have a down firing REL sub on order and was wondering as I'm looking 
at my overall setup. I have a short pile rug under my entire setup. Should 
I leave everything as is or would you recommend a hard surface i.e. a 
large ceramic tile between the sub and rug?

Thanks for any guidance.

Anyone here recall the Stereophile reviewer who couldn't figure out why his system sounded funny until the cleaning lady confessed to replacing his rug with the fibers running the other way? Now what was his name? Oh yeah! Jonathan Scull! Also something about the torque of the screws on his CDP. Or direction? Something like that. Whatever. He was the champ. Until now.
