RE: Bass port location

"...closer to the floor..."

Wouldn't closer to the floor invite more floor boundary interaction?

Maybe that's what you want?

I have a pair of JBL 4331's that I use just for the 2331 15 woofers. Everything else is disconnected. I run them low-boy. (laying down sideways)

I have them up off the carpeted concrete floor on large 3" thick slabs of slate (one large 24' X 16" X 3" slab for each box).

I had them turned with the ports at the bottom. When I turned them so the ports are at the top I thought the bottom end got better. Better definition, etc...

It could be room and personal preference dependent.
