Lower sub volume, buy feet isolators for sub

isoacoustics may have the products you need for your setup.

Must set sub very low thus no effect, never heard of feet isolators

Get acoustic foam and place your subwoofer on top of it? It will dampen the vibration.

It’s a particular frequency that’s exciting the cabinets
If you use isolation feet you lower that frequency but loose the SPL as well
Tighten or dampen your cabinets
Or google and search your amp manual on how to adjust the DSP on your amp to cut output in the region of that frequency but pay the price for losing SPL there
All this sounds Greek? Then just put up with it or hire someone to fix Eg the person who sold the HT system to you
All the best

I bought this for my Samsung Q990C subwoofer. Works great! Without this, my HDB windows and cabinet glass panels will vibrate at 20% volume. With this, I tried until 50% still no vibrations. Dare not try louder, coz neighbors will call police. LOL
Anyway, what this isolation mat does it to damp out mechanical energy of the sub while supposedly tightening the acoustic quality of the bass. Well, what do I know .....
Bottom line is, windows don't vibrate and the neighbor directly below my unit won't feel the bass thumping as much. Confirm works, coz my mom at the kitchen used to complain about the bass boom from my room. Now she hardly notice it anymore.
All said, while the bass is definitely more shiok without the mat, but for my use-case, the bass is still pretty good while cutting out the irritating buzzing from the windows and lowering the risk of neighbors hating on me.

Can always remove the mat and blast your bass to hell when you're feeling high .....

I suggest you pick a mat size suitable for your subwoofer size, else may damp out too much of the mechanical energy and sound lame in the end. Don't follow my paranoid habit of buying the biggest whatever out there! LOL
