Speaker shock absorbers

From time to time people have posted different methods for mechanically decoupling their speakers from the floor to reduce vibration. Some of these have involved using a ply system of rubber strips and wood strips, which seems reasonable to me. I have looked for suitable sized sections of rubber or even for large sheets to cut up but have been unsuccessful. To those who have used that method -where did you find the material and what thickness of rubber and wood did you use for each layer - finally how many layers did you end up using?

Interesting thread.

My 150 lb speakers are on spike, but instead of sitting on carpet directly I found the sound to be better sitting on a 1/2" granite between spike and carpet. I used the granite which was left over from my house remodel for ease of moving the speakers initially, but after hearing what they do I left them under the speakers.

I am ready to try something like Symposium platform under the speakers, but I agree spikes should still be used regardless what you put under.
