Vibration dampening


After reading the article on Herbies isolation products, I got to thinking:  My sub has more vibration going on than anything else, at higher volume you could put your hand on top and it feels like a massager..I am using spikes on thin carpet with concrete underneath.  Has anyone had positive results with these or other isolators?  It is a Velodyne DD12.

I have used Herbies products and I think you need to decide if you want to couple the sub to the floor or isolate it. I use Townshend Podium products to isolate my speakers from the floor (suspended wood) rather than coupling.  Isolation made a significant difference and for my application, they are a essential componet.

I have laminate floors.  My subs are on SVS Soundpath feet, then on a heavy travertine plinth, then on rubber and cork anti-vibration pads.  Definitely tightens up the bass. 

I have laminate floors and I also use the SVS Soundpath feet under my Velodyne DD 10 sub. In my case, the sub sits on a small slab of granite (19" x 16"), which in turn sits on a thin rubber mat of the same size. I am happy with the sound and even happier that my adjacent neighbors don't complain. Lots of good advice here, so best of luck with your particular situation. 

I have a floating wood floor that was not working well with my subs.  The subs were boomy and shaking the room.  I installed Iso Acoustic feet on the subs and the problem was solved.  I'm now very satisfied and you can't "hear" the subs in the system.

Thanks for all responses.  Now that I have done some research, I have one more question. I bought a vibration mat from Thorens for my turntable and it looks so similar to the Auralex Sub Dude.  Looks like it fits so I am going to try it [spikes removed].  Do ya think it will work?
