Posted October 17, 20168 yr Swapped my sealed fifteens for the BTL again for my listening/HT setup; super basic question, any reason not to do up firing? I have always loved the look upwards firing setups, maybe because my heart is in the trunk of an suv it seems to register just fine. the cabinet is massive, forward firing is wacky looking; I'm using the opposite side as rack for amps. Is sag an issue in a typical setup or only in setups where limits are being tested? Edited October 17, 20168 yr by SpeakerBoy
October 17, 20168 yr I have a DCON 15 ported to around 30hz and I have to load the woofer off a wall to get a decent response and output.

I'm tuned close to that, this box is 9.5@29hz, with 120sq in of port. I only have 500rms give or take to feed it but it drowns my mains easily. I don't hear any difference wall firing, or front firing so I opted to face it up. It's 42"x25.5"x24" and it's in a bedroom so it's a little limited on placement options.

October 17, 20168 yr Like Sean said down-firing is alignment I would use as long as you have enough space between the woofer and floor.
