Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes

Hey folks, any “best practices” for keeping my REL sub in one place at high volumes?  It’s on hardwood (and/or tile), no carpet.  Besides using something sticky on the feet — like double sided tape, I can’t think of anything besides a brick on top, lol.    Anything that’s worked for you ?   Of course, only happens at high volumes, it tends to vibrate itself around a bit (nothing crazy),   Ideas?

 

 Thanks, Jim

Wow, it seems like you have your subs volume turned up too high! I have a REL T/9x , and even when I’m listening to the previously mentioned Dis is da drum, a very bass-heavy song by Herbie Handcock, it isn’t so dominant that my subwoofer has any movement.

make sure, doubly sure, that you have set it up correctly, follow rel's instructions step by step, to the letter

even on hardwood flooring, it really shouldn't hop around

Plus 1&2 that something isn’t right. I can make my Windows rattle and my attic fan buzz to the beat, but I’ve never had my sub do a dance.

I've used REL subs for years and they've never moved an inch on their own. This entire thread is tawdry.

Are you using the sub when watching an action-packed blockbuster movie?
