Sub and Tile Floor - Blu-ray Forum

popcornninja · 10-30-2008, 02:52 PM

OK guys need some suggestions as far as my subwoofer being on tile floor.

Right now all it has is some plastic screw in risers that it sits on. It's a 15" Definitive Technology sub (can't remember the model off the top of my head).

Anyways with the tile floor should I have something below the sub? Like a Auralex Subdude or stand?

I'd like to hear your opinions! thanks in advance (again)!

If you want to spend money for better sub performance, see this.

Or you can just get a small piece of rug to put underneath...works fine for me.

Yeah I don't think I'll be able to afford something like that.

At least not right now.

I'll just try getting a small rug or piece of carpet unless anyone else has any other ideas.

I have two of these from Auralex in my theater and they work great, and only cost about $50 bucks.

Ok so I tried a cheaper rug (like a bathroom rug) under the sub and it helps a bit with stabilizing the sub and taking a little bit of the rattle away.

Does anyone else have experience with the Auralex Subdude? Will help anymore to invest $50 into one of them?

Also my sub is 18" x 15". The subdude is 15" x 15". Do I need 2 if I end up going with one?
