Big sub-woofer sitting on carpet HELP


That's right I have a big sub-woofer (Velodyne HGS 15) sitting on a carpeted slab floor. I'm thinking I should set it up on some points and maybe top load it with say 20 lbs. of lead shot. Any one agree? Disagree? Have any better suggestions? Let’s talk turkey:~)

Hard to tell. Did it come with legs or whatever?? I have a REL Q100E in my HT system. It is a cube that was designed to sit on the floor. It has a place to screw in spikes on the bottom, but REL and the US importer Sumiko who I checked with said that unless I had an over active floor that was very boomy in its own right, to not use spikes or other feet. Check with Velodyne or a dealer you trust.
I have a Velodyne also, and I added four screw in audio points which definitely improved its sound over the four little rubber feet that are attached by one small nail each. This was done in my dedicated sound room located in my basement, concrete floor, carpeted. I purchased the mega points used on Audiogon and have four extra, email me if you're interested. I can't recall the name brand at the moment however if you are interested I could check when I get home.
I had a big Velodyne and had problems with boomyness and intergration. Under the advice of my local hifi store I put it on a six inch stand. WOW! What a difference. It cleaned up the sound and made it blend a lot better. I put it on a box but if you like the sound there are small stands out there that also look good.
