I am considering putting a front firing subwoofer *inside* of a media cabinet, paired with bookshelf speakers.
I know... it would be better to place the sub in the room, in a corner or near a wall. But... the decision is not only mine. Esthetics are a consideration. (Even so, feel free to tell me how bad an idea this is
When listening to music or watching videos, my idea is to open the sliding doors of the media cabinet so that they don't block the driver of a front firing sub. It seems that might be better than getting a sub with a driver that points down into the cabinet floor, or opposing drivers that fire against the side walls. If I'm wrong and any orientation is fine, please let me know though. I'm not an expert.
Given that it's a media cabinet, around a 10" driver, or maybe 12", should fit. Bigger will definitely not.
My budget is up to $1,000 or maybe even a little higher.
I already have an integrated amplifier with room correction. My current speakers had a list price of ... kind of a lot. I bought them second hand for... still a lot. After spending time on this site, my plan is to sell them and buy (passive) speakers that measure and sound much better, and get a subwoofer too and still have a little extra to buy a bottle or a nice dinner.
