cd skips due to sub woofer

I have a Sunfire TGIII, Sunfire cinema signature II and a Sunfire Signature Stereo amp powering my system. My subs(2) are custom built ported boxes loaded with JBL power series 12's (2 ohm). My problem is that when I get near a decent output, granted I am talking loud but not overwhelming, my cd player starts to skip. If anyone has a TGIII then you know what -30 is like on the volume control.This is where my problem starts. The room is not sealed and it is 24' x 15'. Yes one sub is 6" away from my rack but I do not have the option of moving it,And yes I did put additional vibration pads under the cd players feet. BTW it is a Rega Planet.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This is where isolation, again, does nothing to filter, inhibit, airborne resonances. Couple your CDP with Audio Points, the rack, and your subwoofers. Star Sound Technologies sells their Sistrum Subwoofer stand. Call Robert, and tell him your problem. I guarentee he will be able to help you. You'll solve the skipping and get much better sound. I have my subwoofer, too, 6" away from my rack. No skipping; ever, no matter what the volume. Of course, I have everything coupled. Good luck.
