Spikes under the Subwoofer?


Someone told me that a subwoofer needs spikes under it, just like normal speakers to help improve bass and whatnot. I have an M&K sub, side firing acoustic suspension. It has some cheap looking plastic nubs for feet. I was curious what people on this site use.

It really depends on the subwoofer. You may want to check with the manufacturer or a knowledgeable dealer. For example the REL Q subs like the Q50 and Q100E do not have feet. There are holes on the bottom for spikes, however the sub was designed to be played sitting on the floor. The holes for spikes were only intended for the rare location with an overly flexable floor (like an older Victorian home) that is easily set off by the sub, making too much BOOM.
