cause i took my subs outta my box and set them on my bedroom floor and i hope they are alright before i get them professional reinstalled in a new box...but i did not have the original packaging boxes for them..is it okay to have them just lying around for a few days outside a sub box??

Yes

just dont have them near a TV or monitor...i know the screen will go bad or something...there is no possible thing that can hurt a sub besides an amp and human error

Underpowering a sub does not hurt it. If it did, then your sub would blow when it didn't have any power. I don't understand this theory that so many people have. However, sending it a clipped signal is different.

You may hurt another sub by cheating on it with a Funky Pup.

Not using a crossover and playing subs at high frequencies can damage them over time...

Is that the kind of answer you are looking for?

i mean same setup but subs inverted..still having the amps in the middle..like this....... SUB 0 AMP 0 SUB....on top of the box you know what i mean...i know it will not hurt anything if the magnets were inside the box..but what if they were outside the box and everything else is the same
