Keep your eyes open. The HOs are starting to ship, I believe, and Craigsub soon will be getting a pair of the them. He returns from a cruise this Sunday. I'm sure he'll be posting his findings, probably at AVS, but you never know.

I have a downfiring Hsu sub on hard wood with no rug and have no issues at all. That's an odd comment.

It could be the newer generation of Hsu subs have spikes. The VTF 3 has brass spikes that I'm sure could damage hardwood floors.

ahh...that makes sense. I was thinking of an audio reasoning. I've got an older model VTF-2 with big rubber/plastic feet.

DL, also consider a sub which has tested very well and compares favorably with the other units mentioned and which is available at a bargain sale price, the Mirage S12 .

My Outlaw is on hard wood floors. It comes with large disks that go under the spikes. Sounds great.
A friend of mine put a piece of plexiglass under his down firing sub because he has thick carpet and to what he thought was an overall improvement.

i'm glad to hear you have know problems, but while speaking to someone at hsu
i was told that the hard wood floors would reflect the sound right back to the sub. which sub are you running ? and to you have spiked feet under your sub with your hard wood floors?

I have the VTF-2. No spikes. The older model that I have had bigger blocky style feet.
