- I have a wooden floor on raised joists. Would spikes decouple
- or couple speakers to the floor? Wouldn't spikes just turn
- the floor into a giant diaphram? ie. they would serve to
- couple the speaker to the floor rather than decouple them.
- Of course, if you have concrete floors, then it might be
- a desirable thing to nail the speaker to the floor, as it were.
-
- If not spikes then maybe some kind of sorbathane type device
- placed between speaker and floor would convert the vibrational
- energy into heat and provide true DEcoupling.
