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

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.

To those who inquired about how loud and whether I watch action movies very loud….just music.   My nominal setting on the REL is about 50%.  And, I should’ve been more clear, it certainly doesn’t happen all the time; only when I’m in one of those “crank up the volume” moods.   Certainly also depends on the bass content of whatever I’m listening to.  The floor is just very slippery.  
But, the suggestions here are exactly what I needed.    So, THANK YOU to those of you who tossed in an idea or recommendation.
