Hi guys...I am in a bit of a bind.
I am nearing the completion of my sonosub project but now am at a problem on where to put the thing.

It is for my parents but there is literally no where to put it...well almost no where..
Here is a picture of the layout.

The only place that I can see where the 5ft 5in sonosub can go is laying down behind the tv and 2 JBL E100s with its baseboard shooting towards the wall where the current sub is. Would I lose a lot of db and add bouncy frequencies?
If I did that, would I build something or put pegs to level it out and keep it from rolling around?

The only other option is to put the project on hold and get a klipsch RW-12d. Thing is that I can finish the project for a little bit less than the klipsch from a friend and I was assuming the output would be better with my DIY 15"dvc and 300watt bashamp.

Suggestions??
Thanks guys!

EDIT"
One more thing. In hooking up the sub, which method is hooking up the wires parallel? http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs=1&impedance=DVC4x2
Would I connect it according to option 1 to achieve a 4ohm load? Thanks a lot!

Ok, first off go to Radio Shack and buy an SPL meter to measure your sub's response.

If you don't need a perfect set-up, you can crawl around for bass. What I mean is that you place the subwoofer where you would be sitting. Then crawl around in possible places where you can place the sub and put the sub wherever it sounded best to you.

Edit: I noticed you haven't built the sonosub yet, so get one of your existing subs and put it in your seating position and follow the steps above so you know what to expect from your sonosub being placed there.

Ive been meaning to buy an spl meter.

The problem about putting it next to the couch is A, it is too big and B there are two big lamps next to the couch against the wall.

Im going to mess around with other dimensions tonight and see about using a 12in driver and downsizing the tube to total out no more than 3ft, or see what kind of results I could get with a 15in in a smaller tub enclosure. Will post back later with an update, in the mean time, anyone that has any more input, thanks!

Ok, the crawling method will still work without an SPL meter.

Just put the current subwoofer where you normally sit to watch movies, then have some music playing. Crawl around the floor and where you find that the bass sounds the best, mark it with something then keep crawling and finding spots where the bass sounds right and marking them.

Those places will be ideal for placing the sub.

But my main concern is if it is possible, "Ok", to lay a sono-sub on its side.
I am thinking about continuing the 5ft 5" and making the top end cap say 30" and making the base 30" as well.

This would allow it to be off of the ground at the same hieght when laying down. My major concern is if it would have a great impact on sound quality or not. I do not have any where else to put a sub of that size, so searching for the bass through the ground does not help too much with the layout of the room.

Anyone tried this before?

I've seen a sonosub before that was layed on its side. Theres no reason there would be a problem.

Thanks a lot Crackyflipside! You have been EXTREMELY helpful for me in this thread. Guess it is time to finally finish the project :)

Yeah man, my sonosub will be placed on its side in my new "theater" room. No worries.
