If Im using the Omega GX on a carpet

Do you guys think that taping cardboard to the bottom would be enough of a compensation for a steady base?

Cardboard is almost worthless, the problem with the pad on carpet is that 1/2" MDF can and will flex, the flex causes the internals to rub (base moves and the lexan moves) and can damage the internals. On carpet you need some structural support to keep the pad from flexing like 1/2" plywood. It's about making sure the pad lasts a long time without problems.

Our new Omega GX with the sensor plates MAY be okay on carpet, the sensor plates keeps the lexan part of the pad from moving very much, but there's no guarantee, it's best not to gamble with the pad on carpet.

Thanks for the input!
