Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes

Hey folks, any “best practices” for keeping my REL sub in one place at high volumes?  It’s on hardwood (and/or tile), no carpet.  Besides using something sticky on the feet — like double sided tape, I can’t think of anything besides a brick on top, lol.    Anything that’s worked for you ?   Of course, only happens at high volumes, it tends to vibrate itself around a bit (nothing crazy),   Ideas?

 

 Thanks, Jim

Plus 1&2 that something isn’t right. I can make my Windows rattle and my attic fan buzz to the beat, but I’ve never had my sub do a dance.

I've used REL subs for years and they've never moved an inch on their own. This entire thread is tawdry.

Are you using the sub when watching an action-packed blockbuster movie?

I haven’t ad a movement issue but I do put a 2” block of corner packing material under each foot that is about 15” thick and made of a thick foam.  This may help but I believe my REL Strata II sounds better elevated.

Isoacoustics Orea worked under my S-510s. We have hardwood floors too.
