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?

Well at least you spoke your piece with more than "Your way doesn't work". 

I've done my bit..  I try to share.. :-)

Hands are killing me..

a newer vibration management theorem known as high-speed resonance transfer.

Word salad. But go ahead. Splain it to me.

High speed resonance transfer? Interesting indeed.

I know you can shorten the path with a product called Sound Coat. The net result is "heat"

BUT speed it up?

It is obvious “oldhvymech”, you are a spring isolation advocate and that is OK, but when you produce challenges and/or statements based on your experiences, you can expect rebuttals, or a few questions directed back to you.

At least your a gentleman/lady about the whole thing.. Kinda' rare on the forums these days..

I’m game, teach me if you would please.. :-)

With great respect and regard..
My subs, Martin Logan Depth i are designed to cancel internal vibrations. I do have them on Stillpoints SS Ultras which serve to couple and decouple. These made a noticeable positive difference
Any speaker enclosure is a pressurized passive radiator that outputs resonance in every direction. Best to direct couple the enclosure towards or to the floor because isolation at its best will only work in 1 direction. Tom
