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?

I wouldn't worry the bass pressure should be similar if the ports were front or rear firing. 

Understood. I am mainly concerned about getting flak from the neighbor in the apartment below me should the bass go into their apartment via the floor. 

yes you will get flak. Bass goes everywhere. You cant stop it. Not much you can do about it
