cuz like theoretically, when u have ur amp on the floor, the vibrations go straight from the amp to the floor, when u have it elevated, it would go through the amp holdre to the floor, which should make some difference no?
Dood... like when you have the amp on the floor... that's like called kinetic coupling... and when you have like the amp in the air, while the cabinet isn't like kinetically coupled to the floor, like low frequency waves tend to couple to like the shell... which like in this case would be like your room dude.
So like while you don't have like the total kinetic coupling of the speaker cabinet to the structure... those gnarly bass waves will indeed try to attach themselves to like mass, which like in this case would be like your floor, and your walls and the ceiling... so dude, what you can like do... is to like get some neoprene and like spread it out on the floor... and then like build a room inside your room, with like an air gap all the way around.
Then those like bass waves will couple with the mass of like the 'inner shell'... and won't like wanna jump across the air gap 'cause it's like too much effort for like those lazy wave forms to deal with. But dude... because like the floor is like on the Neoprene, you really should bulk up on it's like mass... so you like want to skin the bottom of the floor with like 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood and like silicone caulk the seams... and then like sand fill it... and then like put a floor on top of the sand... but you like better check with like a structural engineer dude before you like do that or you may end up making like an unexpected visit to like the neighbor below you... or maybe even like the neighbors like below them... which would be like a total drag dude.
If you like got this far... you should like plan on building like bays of unequal volume into like every section of the walls, floor and ceiling so like you don't get like a sympathic resonance thing happenin' ... oh, yeah, and like proper wall construction would be like 2 sheets of 5/8" dry wall with all the seams silicone caulked on the outside of like the walls you're building... with all the seams intersecting at 90' angles... and two more layers of 5/8" drywall on the inside... and you like really want to have neoprene under and over like the walls so each wall is like isolated from like the ceiling and like the floor... and you like really want some like more silicon caulk on the neoprene to like keep it air tight.
And if you're like rich enough to like build this shit in like an apartment then like you'll be like rich enough to have like an air conditioner thing like put on the roof and like ducted into like your space... and like you should like hire someone to like tell you more about HVAC stuff and how to do like the doors and the lights and stuff 'cause dude... I'm like done typing... OK?
A big NO NO Outlaw, been there done that.
