Subs near RPTV . . .

[NMG]

just wondering how close all of you have your subs to your TV's and if you are ever concerned about causing any damage to them because of the low frequencies and vibrations?

I moved my stuff around today and as it stands right now, my sub is about a foot away from my RPTV at the closest point. There is lots of room for the sub to breathe and nothing is really "crammed" in back there. The front of the box where the driver is (the closest part of the box to the TV) and the port are aimed parallel to the back wall (i.e. not aimed directly at the TV).

Do you see this being an issue? I would assume that makers of RPTV's would expect their stuff to be used in HT environments where they could be exposed to such vibrations but I'm just wondering what everyone's elses thooughts are.

Neil, I don't think there will be any major repercussions especially if you are on a slab-type floor. A suspended floor will transmit more vibrations, but I don't think it will vibrate enough to be harmful. You may just have to align your RPTV a little more often. I'm on a slab and have my Velodyne FSR-15 about 30 inches from the right front corner of my RPTV and haven't noticed any issues at all.

I have my sub very close to my RPTV too ... ~ 2.5'. You may have to re-calibrate your TV more often but otherwise no problem.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll just make sure to check the convergence settings more frequently than did before.
