Would it be ok to stack an MBM-12 on a true sub such as ULS-15?

Inquiring minds wanna know.

Good question! My preference would be to put the MBM-12 on the ground to help minimize effects of floor bounce. But I suppose if absolutely necessary one could stack the MBM as long as they use something soft in between. Also note that the MBM can be placed on it's side with woofer firing forward in the event that it is stacked.

Sincerely,

Thanks for the quick reply Pete.

The reason I'm asking is because I have a coffee table in the middle of my listening area and I thought it would deflect the mid-bass frequencies and have more of an impact than the deflection of the sub bass frequencies.

In other words I'm trying to get the mid-bass off the floor to project more over the coffee table.

I like to feel the mid-bass thumping on my chest.

And yes I have to have the coffee table because of the WAF.

What do you think?

[Pete_Hsu]

You are very welcome!

It wouldn't hurt to try the MBM stacked (and it's easier to put the light MBM on top of a heavy true sub, as opposed to the other way around!). I'm not sure that having it stacked would really minimize reflections off the coffee table though, but it never hurts to experiment.

[howellk]

I just figured the mid-bass would be more directional than the sub bass and that's why I thought if it were up higher than the coffee table it wouldn't be as affected.

Oh well, it's worth a shot.

Just need to save my pennies now.

Thanks for the feedback.

If not anchored wouldn't the MBM-12 possibly slide off the subwoofer if stacked due to low frequency vibration?

I didn't think of that. I suppose some thin type of rubber matting might help.
