I'm serious here -- anyone out there ever experienced a subwoofer shaking loose nails in flooring? My living room area has hardwood floors and I'm concerned that a big sub might shake the subfloor loose. I already have squeaks in carpeted areas and the place is only a few months old :-/

I have a 120 year old house with a "suspended" wooden floor. I bought the EP350 sub. I haven't noticed any loosening of floorboards. I am building speaker isolation "sandboxes" for the EP350 and my M60's. Auralex has "MoPads" that reportedly do a great job at isolating the speakers. So, if your concerned, just isolate 'em, which in theory will improve their sound anyway...

I have hardwood floors upstairs, and downstairs have an EP600 and twin 350v3's, not an issue, unless your running the subs way to hot.

I don't think your going to have an issue, subs aren't like jackhammers. \:\)
