Auralex SubDude

Anyone using the Auralex Acoustics SubDude underneath their powered subwoofer?

http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_subdude/subdude.asp

According to the web site:
"Its purpose is to prevent sound from transmitting through your subwoofer to surrounding surfaces."

Does the SubDude really work as advertised?

What sonic benefits have you experienced?

The Velodyne subs I used the Auralex SubDude or Great Gramma on were forward firing so I can't help you there with the down firing part of your question. I do know though for the subs I do have I did get good results by putting them on the Auralex iso platforms.

I use it for the downfiring ACI Titan II LE with similar results as everyone else. The only complaint I have is the build quality is a little cheesy but it works.

Jedinite24-thanks for the response. I'm using a downward firing with passive radiator right now and just received my SubDude, i will add my input after i get a feel for the new addition.

Kkm-i agree with you that the build quality is cheesy. My freakin' logo is not even centered! Its about 1 1/2" off. Wow Auralex.

No problem. I wasn't much help but please definitely share your thoughts on the subdude. I know it helped in my case.

I've seen the SubDude go from $50 to $60 each new from various online e-tailers.

Sometimes you can get lucky on the secondary market and get them for min $25. I used to check CL all the time for Auralex or other room treatments. Sometimes I would luck out.
