I just want some clarification on what type of subwoofer to get. It will be going in the corner of a carpeted room. Will the carpet make a difference in a down firing sub vs a front firing sub? And how about port locations? Front/rear/bottom/combination? I've seen front firing subs with front ports, back ports, and both. I've seen downfiring subs with front ports, back ports, bottom ports, and all combinations of the three. I'm wondering what will sound the best being both in a corner and on carpet.
