Well of course you can but chances are it won t sound very good.
Elevate subwoofer off floor.
A bowers wilkins db1 subwoofer bowers wilkins the no.
And if we make this a diaphragmatic absorber we also can locate pressure activated absorption closest to the source.
I also measured higher db measurements in the 20 24 hz range.
Because we want to minimize the transmission of noise or vibration if you will to the floor itself.
You can place a sub anywhere in the room.
So let s see why the subwoofer should not be rested on the floor what are the ways to isolate a subwoofer from the floor and how we can get the best performance of the sub if keeping it off the floor is not feasible.
You place our activated carbon platform under your subwoofer.
A higher position in the room will produce a smoother room frequency response.
This elevates it let s say 12 inches off the floor.
So we put a structure underneath it.
I mean the subwoofer sitting on it.
We can elevate your platform up to 24 and higher if qualified.
With my empire however it didn t make any.
The floor is then vibrating and adding to the sound.

By raising the sub off the floor onto the hearth i definitely noticed more bass.
Subwoofers are less obtrusive than the sort of floor standing speakers with drivers big enough to pull off the same task.
Removing that means you hear the sub only not the sub and the floor.
1 setup myth is.
Also subs have dedicated power on board lessening the strain on your a v.
Isolation is obtained by placing the subwoofer on the platform and separating the subwoofer from the floor.
