[QUOTE="kolakidd, post: 1167550, member: 14465"] I also have raised wooden floors. Old Jhb House. I remember a while back researching Sorbothane. It's used in industrial applications locally, like rail, but hard to findfor consumers. Remember that it is a trade name, and there are alternatives that you can use. Lots and lots of datasheets to go through. I found a local equivalent that was used in sneakers and prosthetics. Cannot for the life of me find the name of it. It's a bit of a science because there is too much dampening, and your speaker will sway back and forth, introducing its own issues. However. I don't use any of this anymore. It's become a non-issue from an experience POV and a room-testing (REW) POV. My PL200s have built-in isolation feet. My Sunfire sub also has enough bass to overcome this deficit. Back when I had a lighter sub, I used an Auralex Sub Dude. If I had to go through it all again. I would start with cheap stuff and REW to start. If it has an effect, then start searching for specialised stuff. I have a friend who tore up his floor and laid concrete. That also works... but the WAF factor gets dangerously close to nuclear.
