I need help with placement in my room of my sub.I just doesnt seem like i am getting alot of bass from this spot. I am looking for ideas for placement The room is 20 feet d 14 feet w 7 1/2 h I have attached some pics please help I added 2 more pics from the couch position craig john 06-20-09, 10:58 AM It's hard to tell from your pic's, but it looks like you might be sitting in the middle of the room. If so, that is the worst spot in the room for bass. Does the bass sound better elsewhere in the room? If so, can you move your seating? 3/5 of the long dimension is a good place to start. Here's some good reading: http://www.sencore.com/uploads/files/DIYSubwooferCal-2.pdf Craig godsmack129 06-20-09, 11:13 AM I have moved the sub around,but i doesnt seem to help.The tv is about 10 feet away from the couch.Do you think i should move the couch?do you need more pics thanks for your help craig john 06-20-09, 11:23 AM I have moved the sub around,but i doesnt seem to help.The tv is about 10 feet away from the couch.Do you think i should move the couch?do you need more pics thanks for your help How does the bass sound in other spots than couch? More pic's wouldn't hurt. godsmack129 06-20-09, 11:28 AM It sounds about the same as there? I did add 2 more pics craig john 06-20-09, 11:41 AM Let's check something else. Have you calibrated your system? What receiver do you have? Does it have any auto-setup capability? What are your Bass Management settings? Speaker Size? Crossover settings? Double Bass On/Off? What are the settings on the sub itself?

"BASS level set to 0" Is that the subwoofer trim setting in the receiver? Try raising the subwoofer trim level by 3 dB. Hsu even suggests doing this in the manual. If that doesn't work, and the sub till sounds weak everywhere in the room, I suggest you call Hsu and let them know about the issue. Also, you can contact Pete Hsu on the forum. Just search for his username and PM him. Good luck. Craig |
