A riser only serves to reduce unwanted sympathetic vibrations via. isolation, where a trap will try and reduce excessive LF energy (usually in relation to the vertical node) and is usually built to offer some isolation as well. The risers I built are more akin to a sub trap rather then a isolation platform. They take a lot more effort but the advantage is lower reverberation time in the spectrum produced by the sub, which is the most important range to reduce your reverb time in. The potential disadvantage is raising the sub will likely require you to reposition them. I had to play around with sweeps for hours trying to find the best position available. My side positions didn't cut it anymore.
