My home has a hardwood floor on a crawlspace. 12" subs cause simply too much structural rattle in the room. Installed set of SVS Soundpath isopods. Problem solved. Clean crisp bass extension. No lost energy to the room floor. Night and Day difference. MC & Heavy are dead right.
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?
