I have a wooden built-in entertainment center in my living room. The sub sits in the bottom middle cubby hole on a shelf about 4 inches off the floor. It has about 4 inches of space on each side, back and top and is sitting on it's feet without the spikes. The sub needs to remain in the cubby hole.
On the music side it works and performs well, however on the movie side it sounds to me like it reverberates within the cabinet. I'm not sure if this caused the problem, but now its in the shop for a blown woofer. :cry:
My questions are....
1. Did the sub blow because of over heating and I need to vent better? I felt the air inside the cubby hole and it didn't feel unusually hot.
2. Do I need some type of dampening material behind or under the sub to control the revirberation?
3. Should I use the metal spikes or the rubber isolators on the feet of the sub?
I appreciate any guidance that you can give me.
Thanks,
Bobcatt
