Haha fair enough... I just thought y'all knew what I was talking about because it really was a very simple question, but when I realized nobody knew what I was talking about I rephrased it with as much detail as possible. Maybe I worded it pretty dismally thie first time Sorry... So y'all really don't think the carpet will make a difference especially with SQ as long as the sub is screwed down tightly? I use an SA-15 and 1200wrms before rise I thought it was not out of the question to assume there could be some leakage with a porous piece of fabric bridging the gap between sub and box
