Spikes and added weight for subwoofer performance?

Im currently using a Paradigm PW-2200 on carpet. Will using carpet piercing spikes and/or adding weight to the top of the sub increase performance? Any ideas for what to use( like a slab of polished marble or something decorative)? Thanks fellas (and possibly ladies)! Audiofire

Hi Audiofire,

Using a pointed spike will couple the subwoofer to the floor. This will send extra unwanted vibration towards the equipment rack which is not desireable. Adding mass will couple the subwoofer/spikes more firmly to the floor which will accentaute the problem. Decoupling the subwoofer correctly will be the best method.
