Downward firing speaker port and domestic issues


I am considering getting a speaker with a downward firing port. I live in an apartment with wood construction between floors and am afraid of having a problem with the neighbor below me. Should I rule out for consideration this type of speaker?

Your dilemma reminds me of an apartment I rented in an 8-plex about 15 years ago. The landlord was cool, but he was pretty intent on filling the place with these bohemian hipster types. Guy downstairs was a drummer. Twice a week he had band practice in his apartment. Electric guitars, amps, stacks, the works. The loud, crappy indie rock was terrible.

Wasn’t such a bad deal tho… nobody could complain about me shaking the walls with EDM blaring through my Pioneer SX-D7000 and Cerwin Vega AT-15’s whenever I felt like it.

So… move in next to some hipsters?
