Black Friday was good to me and I now have a new home theater system. The subwoofer has a very clear vertical axis, but for reasons of fitting it into a certain space, I'd like to lay it on its side. Will that affect the sound or lifespan? Also, even though it says it's shielded, how close to the TV is still safe?

Ideally a subwoofer should be kept upright on a rigid surface like a floor and its ports should face the width of the room. In special cases, you may lay your subwoofer on its side, just make sure the speaker diaphram (in case it is exposed) and the bass reflex port faces a free air space. To eliminate vibration noise, lay it on a thick cushion or rubber pad.
Expect some noise at very high intensities. The longevity of the speaker may get slightly affected if the structure is not designed to withstand its weight on its side... which of course depends on the model you are using.
Shielding is usually safe if you put it even next to the TV set, but if your Tv is not of the old CRT type, you need not be concerned at all.
Bad idea, Especially if there is a passive radiator facing down. If so it is tuned for the small bit of air underneath, not a wide open space of air.

Bass is non-directional.
Actually they're beta testing a two channel base. It's supposed to be like 22.2 or something...
namoshndamud has gave u a good answer. but i never hear for any magnetic shield...
(bass reflex put in the corner- u will doubler the bass)

Putting a bass reflex in the corner of a room to increase the bass is a good idea..... but it will insert an unwanted peak, spoiling the linearity of the frequency response, and will decrease the clarity due to multiple reflections.

o common, there is no speakers anymore without bass reflex... room eats the sound.
and u must be smart how to aggrandize it. ears are to slow to get it.
