Optimal subwoofer placement

[Cs342]

Hi guys, I have a 2.1 Altec Lansing speaker system that I use for my desktop. I place the satellits and subwoofers all on my desk because of space constraints (and my floor is carpet). I noticed that the bass is a lot deeper when I am standing up as opposed to sitting in front of my computer. How can I improved the bass without placing the subwoofers on the floor?

Subwoofers sound best at a distance, nothing else you can do.

put the woofer where your head will be and play some bass sine waves/music, then move around your room and listen for the place where it sounds the best. This is where you put the woofer.

The cable isn't long enough

And also my sub is next to my Corsair 600T. Will it damage the stuff inside?

It will decrease the lifespan of a mechanical hard drive if they are vibrated.

Why not just send a low-pass frequency directly to your noggin by connecting the +/- to each of your ears?

most people only have one set of jumper leads and they are best left in the car.
