Should I decouple my subs too?


Good day all. I am looking into some ISO Acoustics GAIA footers for my speakers. I was going to get them for all the speakers including the subs but I just got off the phone with the REL guy and he said NOT to put footers on the subs as they perform better coupled to the floor. Is there any one who has tried both ways as I thought the subs should get the footers too. Thanks for your input

An inner tube works really well to.. TO see if that's what you want.. No kidding. Air it up give it a listen. If it's good (It will be), gussy it up or get the Nobound or what ever you like.. The inner tube does work good though.. and you can adjust the dampening. George reminded me of that... I used the inner tube thing on 500 lb bass bins.. Stopped the waves in the neighbors pool, too...

This may sound kind of weird. BUT it doesn't have to be completely de coupled.. I tip one edge to get an angle with springs sometimes and set the other on the amount of dampening I want.. Could be another set of springs, a block of wood or just carpet rolled up. You can control the amount you want to feel through your BUTT.. Some times you need. 

Ex: A recorded live concert. It's not suppose to be perfect.. Suppose to be a little Boom Boom in the Room Room.. LOL
