I have a powered MK V-75 Mark II subwoofer in my surround setup. It's fantastic!!! It's sad that this company went out of business and was bought by a Dutch company.

Anyway, my wife started an early spring cleaning mission and wants to toss the subwoofer. My jaw dropped but after settling down I started thinking of other options. Her main complaint is that it takes up too much room in our small family room. I know I'll be giving up a lot of performance but can I mount the enclosure in the ceiling with strong wood supports and use polystyrene or styrofoam to isolate vibrations. I am going to face the speaker down into the room through a hole in the ceiling. I will cover the hole with a grille. Also, would it be best to have it face down near the television or the seating area? Thanks!
