Not an audiophile but figured this was a good place to ask. I have a small subwoofer that came with my speaker set (Logitech Z407) and would like to use it for my Xbox audio since my monitor doesn’t have built in speakers. I live in a pretty old apartment and sound travels pretty easily between floors so I’m a bit worried my downstairs neighbor might hear the vibrations from the sub. I’ll be mostly playing games from the speakers at a relatively low volume (~30% max). Am i good to go or should i stick with headphones?

    I had a small 8” sub in my old apartment and it was fine. However - I always played low volume and kept the gain low. It was really useful to keep the crossover point high so it just filled out the mid bass at low volumes. This was for stereo at low volumes, NOT for blasting movies or EDM music. It can be done, but there limitations. Don’t expect to turn it up much.
