Thick 2" maple amp platform--couple or isolate?

I'll soon be receiving a pair of TimberNation 2"-thick hard-maple platforms for my ASL 805s. The concensus seems to be to couple the amp to the platform, but how 'bout the platform and the floor, in my case carpeted concrete? I was going to spike it to the concrete, but Mapleshade certainly doesn't do that.

What's your experience?

The maple blocks that are shown on Boa2 link are IMO pretty much easy to make.Basically long pieces of maple glued and clamped together,then sanded and corners being eased off with a router.The maple box is a little more challenging with the dovetails locked corners.Thanks for the Aurios suggestion,I think I will get some used.

Thank you guys.

Guidocorona,your marine plywood idea sure sounds like a good project to do.I just need a source to get the stuff,Home Depot don't carry it.I did my own sandbox in the past,and also a home made all aluminum rack.
