bass under your monitor is no good.
bass under your desk or next to your desk is better.

Yes it is not directional, but it DOES BOUNCE and putting it in a corner vs the center of the room will sound different.  Also having it in a 'box' such as under your desk can tend to amplify the power of the kick as well as drown out the frequencies that may be overlapped in coverage from your desktop speakers to your woofer.

My boss ha some $50 CA (i say Crappy Audio, but I don't know what it realy stands for, there is just a sticker on the front of them) when he had his subwoofer behind his monitor everything sounded like spoon because so much was coming from the woofer.  I moved it to the floor and now its is much m ore pleasant to hear Rush Limbaugh ranting about his daily gripes and his piano music sounds better because it is not so overpowered with incorrect bass levels.
