Lbk Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I am thinking of point my f20 with mouth either straight up or down, if down sub will be elevated. Sub will be center between my mains on a 12 ft wide wall with a 60 inch TV in front of sub. Good idea, bad idea, pros and cons- thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlthess40 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 You need to ask the company that makes your driver. Not all drivers can be mounted up or down. They have what’s called a sag rating . Basically to let the builder know if it came work like thatSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub is presently slightly elevated off floor (casters)mouth facing forward. Considering facing mouth up or down due to center channel speaker, how will this effect SQ of sub with different placement? Would new placement affect Sub SQ dramatically? If so I will leave it as is, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Are you talking about orienting the sub horizontally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the plane of the mouth yes horizontal. Like a mounted TV only sub sitting on floor with mouth point either up or down. I am trying to gain some room to put a center channel speaket in front of sub. Hope this makes sense, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I'm referring to the sub itself. It will be horizontal not vertical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub access door facing listening position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Unless the mouth isn't at least 12" from the floor I'd point it toward the ceiling. Why not face the opening toward the listening position? You could lay the sub flat on the floor that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good but I want try and gain some room for a center channel speaker. 12 inches is alot so I think I will try it straight up, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
