Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate?

What is considered the best way to "foot" a subwoofer, should one try to connect it with the floor or isolate it? I have a REL 7i that I have firmly coupled to my wood floor with the weight of a 42 lb curling stone, mainly because it looks cool. Would some sort of isolation be better and reduce resonance from the floor, or could the connection with the floor help "drain" resonance from the subwoofer cabinet?

Subdude works great on carpet. Mine are on carpet.

Another Auralex Subdude user here.  Cleans up muddy bass that obscures midrange detail when flooring is problematic.  Everything is more refined and detailed top to bottom.

I can assure you it is not uncommon for some here who will not be named to post solely for the sake of posting and to garner attention for reasons unknown and with absolutely no regard for Truth or integrity. It should surprise nobody that this kind of thing goes on all the time in forums like this.
