You just need a couple of Machina Dynamica, anti-gravity spacers to hold the top over the sub without touching it. It will keep your Brilliant Pebbles from vibrating off to the floor.

I just moved one of my 350's upstairs, and plan to use it as an end-table for the couch or loveseat, just need to run some coax in the walls first..

Beleive me i hear what you all are saying and understand that placing the sub in a column would not be ideal. Just hoping for some ideas on how to build it as well as i possibly can in case i decide it is the way to go for me. So far the mention of building an enclosure to run flush with the front of the sub and using some materials behind and above to try and project sound forward is what I have. Any ideas on what materials would be best? Chipboard? Drywall? Insulation or a combination of the two? If i can keep as much of the air pushing forward as possible it might not be such a problem...... At least thats what i am thinking.....

Well, if you're going to do it, MDF makes sense to me as it's what the sub is made of as well. That's just my 2 cents.
BTW, I had a similar idea and when I built my equipment rack I made a cabinet at the bottom to hold my sub. Unfortunately as soon as I put the sub in there and listened it was very 'boomy'. So I pulled it out and did the sub crawl and have been happy since. Luckily for me the sub crawl revealed I could put the sub in an optimal and aesthetically pleasing place. The ex sub enclosure now holds movies, games and my PS3 controller charger.

On the other hand it would keep mixed drinks...well...mixed - or well mixed! Shakened - not stirred.

Ok thanks for the MDF idea. Still lots of negativity with this plan though so i guess i would be a total moron for not reconsidering it. Thanks all......

I'd hate for all of us to have to march in front of your house with plaques saying "Free your!! Sub Free your Sub!!!"

Me too, because he'd probably be so busy enjoying his system he'd never even notice us out there.

My dad had his sub in a cabinet in his built-into-the-wall entertainment center. Sounded really bad at first as the whole entertainment center was vibrating and rattling. As the books, components, etc went in, most of the vibrations and rattling went away (or was greatly reduced) and the sound improved a good deal. Not great, but better than when the entertainment center was empty.
If you need to put it in another enclosure then I'd try and make that sucker fairly dense to keep resonances to a minimum. Won't be optimal, but better than no sub at all.
