I put the sub whoffer on the floor like it should be and Shelly is right it sounds much better. I still need to get extensions to the speaker wires because right now im like stretching the things across my keyboard and desk to just get it hoooked up temp. Ill need some extensions to be able to set it up more permannently. Anyway the sub whoofer on the floor is much better than on top of the desk. Sounds very nice. This is a very nice speaker system for 80 bucks.
