Best place for a Sub in my mini Theater

I am finishing half of my basement into a 10’ x 20’ theater room. The viewing area is only 10’ deep. The tv and credenza will be recessed 2 feet so that they are flush with the wall. Picture them stuck in a closet.   I have in wall speakers for the fronts. Where is the best place for the sub and facing which direction? It’s front firing.

I can recess it into the wall and have it face the audience but it would be firing into a wall only 10 feet away.

I’m thinking maybe I should put it in the front left corner and have it fire towards the 20’ length but it may be blocking. A closet. 

The couch is against the back wall. What if I put it against the back left corner?

As you can see I’m a bit confused.

Crazy! Good to know about the absorption.


I will still try the bookshelves in the back because like you I like having them directly at my sides.

Also, I didn’t know you needed the exact measurements so I remeasured. The room is actually 25’ long.

That actually makes things more difficult, lol.

Nodes at 45hz, 56hz, and 67hz.   Best you could probably do is get two T50 and two T70 Scopus. (or as many as you want.)
