I have a Z-5500 Sub, and I'm wondering if it is safe to place directly on the carpet? The placement will also be near some HEAVILY loaded extension chords (say 1ft away).

I have had a sub on carpet and on tile, I noticed a little difference in the muffling effect but not much. I noticed a bigger difference when placing the sub in the corner of a room.

...I've never heard of a sub even getting above ambient.
Maybe from friction, but no way that will start a fire.
edit: Oh yeah, the amp is on it. No, unless you cover up the heatsink.- Joined

Yeah, I have the z5400s, and even though the z5500s have more wattage I doubt your in danger. My screen gets hotter then the heatsink on the amp half the time.

My Z-680 sub has sat on carpet for about 3 years now and the heatsink only gets warm to the touch. It has never become hot enough to burn the skin.

I have the Logitech Z-5500 i believe, the 500W version, it's never been off the carpet since i owned it. You're fine.
