I have two solutions. Under my VSA sub in my HT room, the sub which is a downshooter sits on spikes on a 2" maple block from Mapleshade. The block rests on four (4) Isoblocks (cork and rubber also from Mapleshade) which rest on the floor. This is a suspended wood floor which is hollow underneath since there is no slab. Bass is tight and there is no boominess through the floor.

In my two channel room upstairs, the MJ Acoustics sub (also a downshooter) sits on Nordost spikes, which in turn sit on an Auralex SubDude. Check this out, Auralex developed this design for roadies to use to isolate their speaker cabinets from hollow temporary arena stages. Inexpensive and very effective - bass is tight and there is no annoying thump through downstairs.
