whats best (cheapish)Rubber matting for anti-vibration??

[graham123]

I am about to move my rig upstairs to a wooden floor boarded room, from a concrete downstairs space.
I run a butt kicker kicker gamer 2 on the rear of my rig and 100w shaker on the front. I am worried about vibration going through floorboards and upsetting the wife and my son LOL, what sort of rubber mat could I use the stop vibration into the floorboards. is it just about the thickness?

I would advise on a cheap platform (link in above thread) - that will definitely put an end on any unneeded discussions at home

Hi

Washing machine anti-vibration mats would do a pretty good job – you can find them on Amazon at a pretty cheap price – you can get different thickness levels or double them up and some vendors cut them to size too

I have my sim on a indoor trainer mat. Works well and also looks clean. This kind of mat is also made to stop vibration from a trainer.
there is much choice in different price categories.
Something like this:

Make sure to get proper solid rubber mat, not that foam crap, it wouldn't do jack for vibration.
Visit to local gym equipment store is probably worth it.
Check interlocking puzzle units, essentially any gym flooring kind.
