Well, they are. The question is why anyone would want to.
I have a cement slab floor in the room my sub is in, and it sounds very dead. I've read in other places that rasied wood floors are bettter for subwoofer performance because the floor helps to radiate the sound.
It does radiate vibration, but only at the frequencies that *it* wants to, not what's in the music. In other words, it resonates like a drum.
My LFM-1 sounds a lot better at my dad's house w/ raised wood floors vs. my slab floor.
It probably does sound better there, but don't put that on the differences in the floors. Most likely the culprit is the room itself, and just as importantly where the sub is placed in the room. A difference of 6 inches can be heard quite clearly.
