If you are putting real wood down, yes you need a plywood floor to nail to. If it's a laminate then no you don't need plywood.

Well, technically his stepfather was a carpenter... or adopted father... or the guy who actually married his mom...

It is currently carpet with padding underneath from what I have seen so far, still need to pull the rest up to see whats under there.
