I have a DCM 15 inch 250watt RMS subwoofer in my dorm room. The problem is that the floors are concrete (with epoxy clear coat) and so they are really smooth and hard. The subwoofer has so much power that it literally dances around the room. (despite the fact that it weighs a ton) I cut out a chunk of carpet and taped it down to the floor to place the sub on, however i believe i'm losing a lot of the bass and it's not really secured very well. I thought about maybe attaching rubber to the feet of the sub, but not sure if even that would help. Any ideas?

Hey Jodi d(ipshit),
Never ever "try a concrete slab in the box" as this will change the internal volume of the box (which will alter the sound) and could cause damage to the subs.

I would simply use some small rubber feet on the bottom of the sub. A small amount of carpet will hardly effect the bass response. A good sub site to check out and ask questions is http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums ... you can learn a lot about subs. Ask your question there too.

If you want to not use carpet under your sub, one option would be to examine this website... This product seems like a good way to be able to get the performance out of your sub that you are looking to achieve.
Another option would be to keep the carpet under the sub and use floor spikes or brass cones under your sub.

turn it down or put it in a bentertainment center aimed at you since concrete loses a lot of your bass if its a downfiring sub.

you could try a concrete slab in the box because you are running alot of power. i had to do that to my car because when i put the brakes on the box would slide forward. this will just add weight to the box and nothing more.

"fun Tack" brand putty, made for temporary picture hanging, will stop that creep, yet clean up nicely when you graduate (or get expelled for 250 watt woofering)
