I would think you would be floating a little too deep. The deflection with the thicker pad might be too much. It could tear up the joints. Don't know, just a thought.
*Hi Larry,Absolutely remove the old carpet or your new floating floor will not last a season and you will void your warranty.FLoating floors, require level and clean subfloors.Gabe
