Downfiring Sub's On Carpet

[team_canada]

Question is, if a downfiring sub is placed on carpet will it deaden the sound. Not sure if deaden is a word.

I have two JBL downfiring subs. Would it be beneficial to place a piece of ceramic tile or plastic under the sub so that the sound is deflected of a hard surface?

Has anyone tried this? If so, will this produce a better sound?

Thanks

It should help clean up the sound. I've yet to try on on my sub simply because I'm not looking foward to finding a 2
square foot concrete slab and then have to lift a 100lb sub on top of it...

Some of us place a large, concrete paver underneath our subs to get a slightly cleaner sound. Not necessary, but somewhat beneficial, especially given the cost (about $4 at Home Depot or Lowes and a can of black spray paint).

i've done it as well. It does clean up the sound.
