bberg Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I am moving into a condo, and the old owner has a built in wall unit. There is a self area for his sub-woofer (which was side-firing). this shelf was at the bottom of the unit and was about 4 inches from the floor. He has a screen door in front of it. Can I put the down-firing sub woofer (the one that comes with the Quintet Microsystem) also on that shelf? MUST it actually be on the floor (I know it has feet)? Please respond if you know where the down-firing sub-woofer can be put. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 Try it in the cabinet. It can't hurt anything. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istari Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 I've read a few articles where it states that in a downward firing subwoofer, the actual driver is designed to be in the upside down position. Having the sub on its side would maybe not harm the mechanism but it would not be the optimum. Maybe one of the sub guys could pitch in....

bberg Posted March 14, 2001 Author Share Posted March 14, 2001 Hobbit, what are you talking about? A side firing woofer has the hold on the side. I wasn't about to put my down-firing woofer on it's side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 As John said, just put it in the cabinet and give it a try. If the floor of the cabinet that it rests on (and the rest of the structure, for that matter) is solid, it should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
