Can the EP500 handle 30 lbs on top of it, structurally?
Does the enclosure itself vibrate much when playing loud bass notes?
How will a mass of wet soil immediately above the woofer affect the sound?
The EP500 can handle 30 pounds, easily.
The cabinet does not vibrate much at all during use. It's heavy and solid enough that the driver is the only thing vibrating.
The wet soil will have little to no effect on the sound. I leave room for little because every object in the room can have an effect on the sound -- good or bad.
