Question for you audiophiles
-
With everybody majoring on the speaker cone, can I ask about the electronics I have seen subs with the amp in the back and if this is one of those then the heatsink will be on the floor and receive less cooling potentially leading to failure
Does your woofer take in power? If Yes - You will inadvertently hurt the cooling of the Amps inside by altering the orientation. There may not be any problem in the short term but it will surely reduce the life of the electronics inside. From an electronics engineer :cool:

Ah peterchen. At last someone who agrees that sub woofers are dreadful for decent music. Whatever happened to the obsession for flat frequenct responses?
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.
Well, certainly some are! I guess you might like this

I've a question about the subwoofer that came with my home theater system (Samsung HT-F5500W). Based on where the feet on it are, it is designed to be laid such that the speaker faces to the side. I know I can physically do it, but what would be the drawbacks on laying it such that the speaker faces up? Damage the electronics? Not hear the thump, thump, thumps as well? Thank you. - DC

Laying it on another side will not harm it, nor materially affect the sound. The only thing that you might take into account is to mechanically isolate it from hard surfaces, using either stick-on rubber feet, or placing it on a sticky mat. (It will vibrate itself from a piece of carpet or suchlike.) You can even place it under a sofa or bed without detracting from the audio.
