Sub placement


Many speaker manufactures recomend placing the sub in your listening spot,then go around the room and find where it sounds the best. Where it sounds the best is where they say to put the sub. I have 2 foward firing subs. Does any one have any idea what direction I would place the sub when I find the spot? Has anyone had any luck with this method?

for reinforcement of bass you can put sub facing corners. placing subs is less of a concern if you adjust bass crossover to bellow 60hz. if you need to adjust 80hz or above, you'd be better of placing them both next to speakers.
The "put the sub in your listening spot" suggestion is ridiculous (but amusing) so ignore that one. Your room and tastes are specific to you so the only answer has to be to experiment with placement as there is no magic formula...I just loosely followed REL guidelines and my ears...found an ideal spot (for my tastes anyway) after a while. I do turn my sub up and down a little depending on the recording, and have no idea if anybody else does that...but it's the only "tone control" I have and it's all I need.
Try right next to your listening position . My rel placed there was invisible sonically . It sounded like the bass was coming from my speakers . I read a book by Alton Everest ? I think that was his name . He stated that and i thought it was absurd , but being a bachelor i can place a sub in the middle of the room !
