My wife isnt happy with the size of my home theater in our living room... Just so i can keep them i put my sub along the couch so it wasnt all together up front. Today just messing around i put my sub next to my floor standing speakers and it sounded much better. So here,s my question and no its not a joke...she has a large chest next to my one tower that can actully hold my sub. If i cut out the bottom ( subs down firing) will it sound as good? I can cut another area for more air flow or worst case cut the bottom out and set the sub on the ground , the chest sits about 2 in off the ground so if i just cut a speaker hole it would be higher than normal
