Isolate Sub from floor

All I see under the sub is the 3 inch facing of stone which looks nice IMHO. The cost was about $20, plus the good exercise carrying the stone in from the car. After hearing the benefits I went back and thinner blocks for under my main speakers, since they contributed to the floor vibration as well, and one for under my gear stand, which made a nice improvement in sonics as well. All for under $100!

Full disclaimer: no WAF required for my system.

Pyro.......The answer to that dilemma is footage. Put enough distance between you and neighbors, and it doesn't matter who they are.

I see my neighbors at the post office occasionally, just how I like it.
