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?

    do not put it ina corner.

    do put a sub pad or something like it, under the sub.

    make sure your set up is not against a shared wall.

    turn the subs off at 8pm weekdays. 10 on the weekend. party once in awhile. not regularly.

    No question they would hear a big subwoofer. The one you reference has a 20 watt amp and 5 inch driver and is quite inexpensive (so does not have massive excursion or any remarkable technology) This is really not even a subwoofer. So while most of the general advice here is correct, you will be ok.
