My advice is to hold off on the downward firing subwoofers.
Until you downstairs neighbors do something to piss you off.
Then buy two of them!

Down-firing subs and downstairs neighbors
Hello Audiogoners,
I am looking at subwoofers for 2 channel music. I will soon be moving into the 2nd floor of an older wooden house, with neighbors below me. I don’t want to drive my new neighbors crazy.
It seems intuitive that a downward-firing sub would penetrate the floor more than a forward-firing one--but is that true? Also, can you do things to mitigate, like put a down-firing sub on a piece of stone, or a particular material?
Any suggestions/info much appreciated
