I have a pair of Klipsch RP-5s that have been in storage for a good few years (apartment living)

My dilemma is I have a townhome/villa but really only share 1 wall with the neighbor and its in the back of the home 2 rooms away. He said that his walls are vibrating.....what I am thinking is its traveling through my courtyard (which is rock/concrete) to his home/villa. I live in AZ so there is a lot of hard ground between us to carry sound.

Since the Klipsch RP-5s are not downfiring not sure if something like the gramma or subdude would help?

Has nothing to do with the direction of the driver. Any bass that is radiating via rock/concrete will not be affected by a Gramma or SubDude which only reduce physical coupling with a resonant substrate. You could experiment with a foam pad to see if such an approach might be effective but I doubt it.

Yep.
I live in the country with acres all around me.
I crank the sh*t out of my system when I want to.
But.....it's 5 miles to the closest store.
