Would placing floor speakers in a small wooden closet make them sound like c**p?

Question

I have limited space in my dorm room, and the only place to put my stereo when I go back is in my closet. I've got a pair of average-sized 3-way speakers and they will be placed at each side of the roughly 2ft by 6 foot wooden closet. Will they sound like c**p, and is there any adjustment to the amp or speakers that would improve the sound?

Answer 1

Obviously they are NOT going to sound the best compared to having them out in the open as they were designed for. You might even create an echo effect if anything, perhaps p**s off your next door neighbors. -but- considering you ARE in "dorm rooms" I don't think it is going to matter much anyways. Sounds like this is your only choice.

The best adjustment would be your ear. Just setup the speakers and adjust everything according to how you LIKE it.
