Default Isolate Sub from floor

I was just thinking I have a lot of structure borne audio/vibration/resonance coming from my JL Audio sub across my wood floor.
What could I use to isolate/decouple the sub from the floor?

Thanks.

Not sure if you are looking for a simpler solution but this will definitely do the job. ASC SubTrap

Granite, Amp stand or the least expensive-patio block from Home Depot. Am using an amp stand for my sub with excellent results.

CUSTOM SUBWOOFER BASES


Sound Anchors will make custom bases to fit your subwoofer. A solid massive base will improve the bass performance of your subwoofer by stabilizing it and reducing the energy transfer to the floor. These improvements will be heard as tighter more linear deep bass. Transients will be more natural and "one note" bass will be substantially reduced.



Our subwoofer designs are based on the same three designs that we use for floor standing speakers. We usually add extra members to sub bases to better handle the low end energy.

Don't get me wrong the sub sounds great. I just notice from time to time the vibration I get on my wood floors. And the fact that my neighbors complain way too much. I am wondering if adding a sub trap or something like it would decrease the sound going through the common wall I share with them.

Thanks for the suggestions guys....Keep them coming!!

I like the looks of this one. But the ASC subtrap would be a simple fix.

Does anyone have one of these with there JL F113?

Mine is going in my basement listening room, see avatar, which is carpeted and padded over concrete so hopefully floor vibration won't be a issue.

Difficult to see, do you have a better picture.

Thanks,

Seems like an effective, reasonably priced solution.
