Hi, Just a quick question, is it sutiable to place your sub at the back of the room??? This would be the most convinient way to place mine however I dont want to risk loosing sound quality in anyway, Would back placement result in this. Any advice? has anyone tried it by any chance???

thanks.

Yes it's pretty common. The room acoustics will determine how good or bad it will sound and of course you'll have to dial it in and if you get carried away you can look into a program called "Room EQ" and the other equipment needed to measure freq. response etc. etc. so that you may identify null zones.


Try putting the sub in a corner if at all possible or otherwise not open to a large area causing the wide sound waves to sort of drift off without the slam you likely want.

In my opinion and from my own experience, placement/location is the most important tweak when dialing in your sub. Achieving headroom and proper tuning with your sub will do wonders for the sound quality of your speakers. Experiment as much as your room will allow with placement/location. Not all subs sound good in corners.

I have a question along the same lines. I have a ported sub, due I point the port into the corner or out into the room?

Try it both ways. Moving the sub in or out of the corner 6 to 8 inches can make a significant difference. A lot of trial and error with or without using an spl meter or an REW. Room size, acoustics, listening preferences etc. It can get frustrating at times but when you get it right you'll know it. Good luck.

Thanks, I will try it both ways. I was just hoping to not have to lug this 60LB box with four 2" metal spikes attached to it too much :)
