[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 56864, member: 3"] I think the bug might be starting to dig it's teeth into Skillet here ;D The downward firing driver will give you a bit more room gain, but it isn't always worth it as the driver's cone might start sagging after a while. I had mine downward firing for a couple of months without issue, but I might as well give the warning and get it over with. If you do the downward firing thing make sure you have at least 5cm clearance from the floor. If your floor is sturdy (hope so for your part if you are walking on it) I don't think there will be any difference to any other floor. As for the port facing the wall - I would not recommend that. The driver must be able to breathe freely through the port. Alot of your bass will be coming out of the port, so you might want it facing somewhere else. Ultimately you will need to play around with the positioning / orientation, etc to find what works best in you room. Cheers, Ian. [/QUOTE]
