A really, really bad idea

Even if you manage to totally isolate the TT from the vibrations transmited from the sub's enclosure by, say, floating the TT on an air bladder, you're putting the TT in middle of the strongest bass sound field in the room. The tonearm, the platter and the record itself are bathed in high energy sound waves.

Think of the cartridge and stylus as the equivalent of a microphone -- because that's what it is, a device that translates vibrations into electrical signals. As a minimum, you will muddy up the sound.

Anywhere but there would be better.
