got one of these a/c's from my local shop and love it. Only thing is, it vibrates the wood floor it's on and kinda loud @ night. what do you guys think i can use between the feet/wheels to reduce the vibration?

you can go to your nearest autosound store and cop a sheet of dynamat or something similar and place a square of it on the floor under the unit and a few patches on the unit to absorb the vibration. it will deaden the area do it doesn't resonate. good luck!
 
how much did that cost you? i was at lowes the other day lookin but they were quite expensive like 800+ for those kind of units, the cheapest was like 5 or 600

Dynamat is used to keep vibration from travelling outside of a trunk of a car that has large subwoofers in it should work. Peel and Seal at lowes Has been an alternate for dynamat as dynamat is expensive. Thick Piece of carpet would work some.

I would also recommend making sure that whatever you've got that sitting on, make sure it's dead level in all directions. window mount AC are picky for that. if they are level, they are quieter than if they aren't
