You can place a subwoofer on a shelf, provided it's sturdy and dense enough. The low-end soundwaves the subwoofer produces are omnidirectional, so the bass will be audible. A subwoofer can reverberate and cause unwanted vibrations if your shelf is close to the wall or not sturdy and heavy enough.

Can you put subwoofer on shelf?

If the subwoofer is front firing, it can be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet. The same rule of heaviness applies here. For decoupling, vibration pads can be placed beneath the shelf or cabinet so that minimum sound vibrations are transferred to the floor.

Where should you place a subwoofer?

Subwoofer placement in the front of the room is the most common and usually results in the best blending with the main speakers and center channel and minimizes localization effects. Bass is omni-directional.

Is it OK to put a subwoofer in a cabinet?

The simple answer is yes. A subwoofer can be placed inside a cabinet. However, there are those metrics you'll have to adhere to to ensure that your subwoofer performs at its best without causing any sound distortions or reverberations.

Does a subwoofer need to be on the floor?

Placing a subwoofer in the corner of a room can increase its output, making it sound louder. The great thing about a subwoofer (especially a wireless subwoofer) is it can be situated almost anywhere on your floor space. There is no formula for locating the best spot. And, it's truly your personal preference.

What do you put under a subwoofer?

Subwoofer Isolation Spikes The basic idea behind isolation spikes is to absorb vibrations while minimizing any path the vibrations have to the ground. Isolation spikes are used to decouple your subwoofer from the floor.

Can you place subwoofer behind you?

You can place a subwoofer behind you or in the back of the room but this is likely not going to be the most optimal location. Ideally, the subwoofer should be placed at the front of the room pulled at least 6-inches away from the wall for the best low-frequency audio signal performance.

Can I put a subwoofer next to couch?

While subwoofers are often placed in the front left corner of the room, putting a subwoofer behind the couch (as long as it remains 25-35cm from the wall) can be optimal and help with localization. To test the best location for a subwoofer in your space, use an SPL to measure frequency response.

Can I put a subwoofer in a closet?

But you need to know that this is the worst possible scenario. Putting a sub inside another cabinet pretty much defeats the purpose of a subwoofer. Those non-directional low frequencies need room to breathe in the room, and you've just crammed them in a closet and shut the door.
