A friend/acquaintance of mine really wanted to use his Bose setup in his living room. It's the mini cubes and that boomy sub which goes up to 300Hz, etc. Invisibility was paramount for this person and who was I to push my own views on him? He has a nice system elsewhere so I helped him with the install.

What was interesting about it? I mounted the Bose sub in between the floor joists and fired the ports up through what looks like a heating register vent. He apparently had no issue with cutting a hole in his nice hardwood floor but was determined not to do in-wall speakers. Odd but fine. I can work with that. It turned out rather nicely for background music for reading, conversation, etc. It doesn't seem any boomier than just keeping it on the floor and we were able to place it in between the speakers to help with the upper bass directivity.

Not a bad use for a > Bose woofer box. I just can't bring myself to say subwoofer because it really isn't.
