Woofer sucking in and out

I have a problem with my analogue set up that once it starts play, the woofers of my speaker will move in and out like crazy, unrelated to the music! It relates with volume as when the volume is low, the woofers will not move as much. May it has to do with oscillation between cartridge and arm but my set up is new. The turntable is Acoustic Solid-Transparent and rega301 arm with cardas wiring and weight mods, Herron VTSP 3A pre and VTPH phono. I wonder if placement has anything to do with it or power connection.
I hope someone who has the same problem before can give me some hints.
Thanks.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with equipment being in between the speakers. 99.9% of systems are setup this way. Of course, ideally, the speakers should be farther out in the room than the rack the equipment is on.

I suspect, as others have said, you have an isolation problem, or a mismatch betweem arm and cart.

Filters are a last resort. All filters will effect the phasing of the signal... Find and fix the real problem.

Vinyladdict, All filters affect phase. Period, end of story. As was said earlier, a filter is a band-aid. The OP needs to find the source of the problem and address it.
