Welcome davemire and congrats on the EP350.

Yes placing a throw rug is beneficial. Hardwood floors can create many acoustical problems because they are very reflective with sound.

You can even go a step further and place the largest and thickest rug you have and place it at the center of the floor to help dampen the sound reflections between the floors and ceilings.

Placing a rug underneath your sub will also protect your sub from getting scratched and it also protects the sub from scratching your beautiful hardwood floor.
