Placement of computer's subwoofer on desk?

Question

I have a 5.1 surround system with a subwoofer. I am wondering if it is better to place the sub ground level or on top of the desk. It can fit perfectly either way.

Answer 1

bass is unidirectional meaning it doesn't matter what direction it comes from mine is on the floor beside me. tone you want facing at you like the smaller satellite speakers . if you have a monster surround with a bad soundcard  like i have having it on your desk might overwhelm the tone drowning out the voices and small tones with big bass. i would recommend ground level.
