The bottom vibrating wouldn't be much difference. What you want to avoid is dividing your chamber in two by having a neck that basically goes all the way from the lid to the bottom all the way through the box. If you do what you propose, you might need to drill a series of holes laterally through the neck to let air move between both sides.

I use a tailpiece that covers the butt-end of the box, so I slot the end of my neck into the box (very snug) for a solid build. Then the tailpiece is attached by a screw that goes into the end of the neck. Easy to get the right height for some neck relief and a good height over the box top for good bridge break.
