I know this must be a ridiculous question, but given limited floor space in our living room, I was wondering if you can put anything on a top of a sub, like it was a small table. I would like to replace one of my end tables with a sub and put our telepone-answering machine or lamp on top. other than some resonance would there be any problem? none of our friends have subs'so I don't have anyone to ask..does the cabinet remain relatively still--I mean our heavy speakers isolate their own waves pretty well, so why not a big heavy sub--aren't you paying for a resonance-free cabinet? thanks and apologies for any groans this may cause! |

It will probably be OK to put things on top of the sub. If you have problems, remove the item.

I think - it's nice idea. why not?!
now I want to make sub + central channel driver at ones. it's seems like combined box under TV.
I'm always use real marble for loudspeaker box, that's why it will be very solid and heavy. |

Pretty funny but my wife has a fern tree on top of my sub which is in the corner behind a chair.. Little does she know her "tree stand" is about to be upgraded lol... I'm not sure I'd use it as a table to put drinks on though, they'd be rumbled off onto the floor in no time  |

I think that would be practical.
Hmmm, a coffe table sub, now where to hide the wires?!? |

Glass or thin metal objects placed ontop may annoy the hell out of you when the sub is active,
and it is not a good idea to have someone's foot/kneecap near an exposed woofer.
Use it very minimally as furniture... |
