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

Yes on the hockey rink, but no tent.

REL recommends Blu-Tack for your type of installation.

If you want to experiment with something a bit less compliant (than 3M Blu-Tack) try HandiTAK by the makers of Super Glue.

DAP BlueStik is a suitable replacement for Blu-Tack if you can't find the 3M product.

Replace it with an open-baffle dipole sub.

op

now, the right tent material offers very useful dampening of high frequency energy! 🤣

i do hope you sort out your sub dancing issue with blu tack!

+1 @dekay That's what I use as well.  However, I have wood floors so for the most part they stay put - there are few tracks that can move them. Sounds like you have slippery floors, so it may be at least worth a try.
