subwoofer in corner under shelf: reflection probs?


Just a question about whether having something above a subwoofer in a corner will create problems. I have a sealed inclosure sub (Velodyne DD12) that I have used successfully in a corner placement. I now want to put a shelf above it, and I'm wondering if that is going to cause problems with unwanted bass reflections etc. or otherwise compromise the sound?

thanks!

The added shelf will add an additional close proximity wall boundary which may help reinforce the bass output level which can always be compensated by turning down the sub's volume. I can't see a problem that DD12's settings won't correct.
Any chance of sticking "something" roughly the same size as the shelf that you plan on putting there and then listen to see if its good/bad ?
The bass cant get trapped, while the subwoofer is placed on an open place. Not a sealed cabinet.
Try switching positions and play around.
