Down firing sub tweeks

I use a down firing sub on a carpeted surface. Are there any specific tweeks available to better disperse the bass ? For example, would a product like Auralex sub dude make any improvement, or is that just to reduce the bass below the unit? ( Like in an apartment setting). Anyone use a "base" of some type, or is there is there an isolation base surface known to be better than carpet?

Great timing for this question as just yesterday I put a piece of porcelain tile under my REL sub. Still evaluating but initial reaction is not favorable. I think the tile is too thin. Also, it's just sitting on the carpet.
I think I'll look into Stanwal's idea.

Was that $20 each for the granite? If so, that's a steal.

PTM, this is interesting as I'm always looking to experiment. Is the sub simply sitting on the floor or did you fashion some type of feet?

I have a 3 inch thick maple cutting board. Think I'll give it a try.
