Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub?

Is it ok to put my receiver, cd player, and dvd player on top of my subwoofer? It is a big sub (15" getting 200 watts), the width and depth of the cabinet are long enough to provide a solid base for the electronics. I'm just worried whether vibrations from the sub will damage my electronics. Assuming CDs and DVDs don't skip, is this safe? I would really like to do this because it would be space efficient for my bedrooom.

And put a big potted plant for aesthetics on top of that.

It won't damage any of your equipment, but it could effect the sound quality. Use Virbrapods, sorbothane or some other type of isolation device and place the equipment on an MDF, glass or other type of platform. It's nowhere near as big a problem as the above answer would suggest.

Can you? Yes. Should you? Probably not if you have other alternatives. Even with isolating devices between the sub and the electronics, you probably have other places to put them that would not be as directly influenced by vibration.
