I rec'd my LFM-1 last night, and after installing the spikes, and turning it over, I noticed how low it sat to the ground, hardly any clearance at all from the floor, does anyone know if this sub is designed to sit very low to the floor, I would think that the closeness to the floor would inhibit the woofer movement and port performance, any opinions or knowledge of this would help. Thanks alot !!

From what I understand of the manual, the spikes are designed specifically to provide the required clearance for the driver and ports. Did you set it on the isolation discs? If you are concerned about clearance and haven't already tucked the discs under the spikes, you might try that. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

I did leave out that i have pretty thick carpet, so when i put it down with just the spike, it was so low that the woofer would be actually hitting the ground as it started recoiling, so i did put the discs down under it, but it still seems awfully low compared to my klipsch sub on the other side.

It's probably OK with the discs, but it wouldn't hurt anything to get a ruler out, measure your clearance is between carpet and the underside of the LFM-1, and bounce the number off Outlaw. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart | 950 Review

I have the same issue. I ended up cutting a piece of 1" board the exact size of the sub, painting it black and setting the LFM-1 on that. It seemed to tighten up the bass a bit.

I don't have my LFM1 yet but I do have access to 7/8" black granite at my work and I can cut it any size I want. Maybe I'll try a piece of that under my LFM1.

I have 2 forward firing subwoofers but my friends are down firing. He had 2 pieces of mirror cut to size and glued them to 3/4 MDF and it looks sweet you can see the sub and it did tighten up the sound a bit. Just my .02 cents. Hope this helps  Lasher

How much room did you guys have? I can insert my finger underneath the LFM; so my clearance on carpet is the thickness of a finger. Is that enough?
