I don't know what the technically correct answer is.
But, back in the day when we had questions like this we just saddled up and tried it out.
No harm in just trying it out and seeing if you like the sound.

I might get some rubber furniture coasters/foot pads for the the subs as you place them on top of the speakers.

You said they are Radio Shack speakers? Honestly. What's the worst thing that could happen?
Yep, that might be a good thing.

If you’re speakers are big enough to set the subwoofer on, perhaps you need a bigger sub/no sub
