SazquatcheR,

As far as I know, those isolation pads are going to go under the studio monitors, like this for example.

They are supposed to bring out a better low-end response.

That is correct and maybe more importantly they prevent the surface they are sitting on from carrying sound which can give you false tones. I actually used some rubberized packing foam that works well too.

Or, were you asking where in the room to you set your speakers up with the isolation pads??
We came.
