Does anyone know if it is detrimental to PCs or consoles to place a subwoofer relatively close. At least over time.

All in all I think it is pretty unlikely for EMI from a subwoofer to be a serious problem.

Most subwoofers do use a large magnet so phantom currents can technically be generated by electromagnetic induction....

BUT - With that said we are not talking about large distances at all..Like 1 or 2 inches of seperation between the subwoofer and the case would pretty much gauruntee that you wouldn't run into any problems unless you went out and got yourself a ridiculously massive subwoofer that would probably cost more than a new house.  In the overwhelming majority of cases you could put the subwoofer right up touching against the case with no problem.

 

 

Yeah, I didn't think so, I wasn't even thinking about the magnetic aspect though.  Just the vibrations.

 

Oh...well in that case just tighten your screws to be safe and you'll be fine.
