If placing a subwoofer on top of this riser, should the feet be kept on or taken off?

suggest to keep it on, if it is the spike type, get the base for the spikes and leave them on it. But most subwoofers dont come with spikes...

Hi Mark, I'm not sure if you should remove the feet but my guess is that if you leave them on you will get the highest degree of isolation. However I probably would remove them if they are the spike style. But that's just a guess. Hope this help and enjoy the bass!

Leave on. If spikes are metal, you might have been given alternative feet or disks to put under them as not to scratch hard surfaces. I assume your sub is also front firing as is the port if any. Either way, leave on.

It all depends on your front site. I did not want to remove it so I needed a higher riser to see over it.

No more than 4 inches tall. We put ours right behind TV w no problems. Subwoofer is off to the side.

Usually on the ground. It's a sub woofer. Not extremely powerful but the footprint is best suited for the floor close by.

I do not have a heavy speaker load on my unit so I can't give an informed answer. However I would not recommend stacking another unit on top of this one since you will block the vents and impede cooling when it might be required. Without ever measuring the load or the internal temperature, how would you really definitively know when you are overloading the unit?

The subwoofer goes on the floor, preferably on an isolator. The tweeter and midrange are on a stand/stalk about 6" high. These are near field speakers, totally exceptional ones, but only for near field. High frequencies are quite directional. One beauty of the Focal design is that they sit on the desktop and the tweeters are aimed at one's ears. If they are well below your ears, they cannot help but be aimed behind you, so you will miss the high frequencies. Missing the high frequencies means you could probably get by with much cheaper speakers of lower quality. As alternative, you could sit them on a sconce like horizontal shelf mounted on the wall.

Subwoofers move air so the short answer is no. This product is great for under furniture that has bass shakers installed. For a great experience and not annoy neighbors, install bass shakers in your couch and put these pads under the feet.

Yes. I do. However doing so does make the bed a little less unstable and harder to move on the floor without upsetting the alignment of the caster on the riser. This in no way stops me from using this arrangement. Good luck and do try it!

can the subwoofer be placed on its side ( on shelf ) or does it have to stand alone upright?

Make sure you do not have any of the speaker wires crossed, grounding or touching each other. This will make it "trip off".

I am not sure. You could turn down the base to reduce the subwoofer effect.

That is correct, you need to put the foot in the mount in the up position and locate the position for the mount. That way you can have it so you can leave the foot on one or the other side when using it on level ground. Sometime one of the ladder rungs decides where you will put it.

If you can do it without laying it down then do it that way.. But you risk damaging the speaker if it happens to fall over. I layed mine down carefully

The bottom shelf is not bolted in and only sits on suction cups. It can therefore be removed or not put in when assembled. If the sub-woofer will fit in space provided then the answer be YES.

i do not believe it will move very easily. also this will increase the chance of the riser collapsing. i personally do not advise this.

No, it's better to use it on a solid flat surface. The rear legs are higher than the front so it leans forward and the fans are exposed on the bottom.

I have mine mounted with an open 1/2 rack space above it and have no issues so far. Nice amp.
