Subwoofer placement

There are so many different ideas and opinions on this. Corner, center between the mains, side walls.

What have some of you found works best? Sit the sub where you sit and crawl around the room looking for the spot where it sounds best? Or just stuff it in a corner?

Finally, do subs with automatic room equalization functions render placement a relative non-issue?

Revamping my room, looking for some thoughts. Thanks!

There are as many answers to this as there are people who use subs.What's "best" for me might not work for YOU at all.YOU have to experiment and put it where it sounds best to YOU. YOU are the one that is hearing it.YOU are the one that has to live with it.Notice the emphasis on YOU?Start out using placements suggested in the manual and work from there.Good luck.

IMHO,no.

For my room I have my sub in the corner. If I put it between my speakers (which I thought would be best) it was the worst place. Little bass in the sweet spot but everywhere else was great. I'll be the first to admit I have a terrible room for bass. The corner is the best compromise again for MY room.
