Here is what I would suggest if you have the extra
time....
Build or find to buy, a wooden (very sturdy) flat
surface stand no less than 5 inches from the ground..
I have attached a picture for reference....
Notice the legs go thin at the bottom, that is to
minimize the vibration from the bass to the floor.
If you make sure it is no less than 6 inches from the
ground that with the thin legs will also minimize or
eliminate the "speaker box" effect explained below.
I would probably toss a little acoustic foam under the
stand also...but make sure you get the thick stuff, or
ask about foam specially made to control bass
frequencies.
I think they make stands that would solve your
problem....but they may be pricy.
Hope this help a little.
