Subwoofer on carpet? How to make it better?
Question : Subwoofer on carpet? How to make it better?
I just moved and our new house has all carpet pretty much. The carpet absorbs a lot of sound, but would putting it on something hard like a wooden block help, instead of on direct carpet?
This is what I have:

I dont know if its down firing or front firing, the booklet with it doesnt say either.

The carpet shouldn’t absorb too much sound . If it sounds wimpy at all , just turn up the volume of the subwoofer . I have a much larger subwoofer on carpet and I can’t tell much different .

it’s down firing if the driver (the part that vibrates) is facing the floor. putting it in a corner will help, the walls will help spread the sound,
I just looked at the picture, it’s not downfiring. the carpet doesn’t matter. I’d be interested to hear the difference if you faced the sub toward the corner… might make it boomier

Carpet doesn’t attenuate low frequencies very much. It mostly affects high frequencies by absorbing them instead of reflecting them.
