wondering if anyone has any ideas for a bass cabinet isolation pad..?

my studio is relative cut off from the house... but the bass shakes the whole thing..

i think maybe a (8"?) thick piece of foam in a wooden box, with a piece of wood on top spaced 1" from the box edges...

any ideas?

Seismic,

If you're talking a sub woofer - I doubt seriously that it would help much at all.

Picture how a car driving by your house shakes the house - and that is housed in a car with rubber tires (and shock systems) isolating it from the road........ yet it shakes your house.............

It's the air waves that are the issue -

SO the real question is - how does one isolate the air waves....... and that takes isolated construction with a decoupling of structures and (for real LF) plenty of mass......

Open all the windows and doors...hang the speakers from bungie cords. Dude...spl is going to build pressure...anything that can move will.
 
so decoupling from the floor isnt going to help... its too late for a completely isolated room.. i guess i just have to live with the bass... it could be worse i guess .. instead of bass, i could have a pteradactyl problem :)
