I currently have a down-firing Onkyo subwoofer from the HT-S6100 HTiB. I recently purchased the front-firing Polk Audio PSW505 subwoofer. From my understanding, more often than not, especially in such a square room as mine, down-firing subs tend to sound better in the corner. I might be wrong. I'm wondering what would be your guys' best guess where to place the two subwoofers together. Any additional info needed I'll provide - though I'm just looking for an estimate really. I attached a picture of the position of the Onkyo sub and possible placing for the other one. The Polk Audio sub could also replace the position of the Onkyo if you feel that's better. The Polk Audio sub is a bit of a higher standard so maybe it comes down to that, where "the better" should be placed. Thanks
The difference I seem to hear (regardless of position and the different locations I've had this gear), at least with this down-firing sub in particular, it tends to be more boomy, long "woo"ing notes are less projected/weaker and more muffled, and it produces louder impacts (thud sound), making it better for movies, while the front-firing seems more fitting for music; bass sounds more natural/accurate musically.
