SubWoofer Help ASAP...

Hello, can anyone recommend a solution. Just moved into a condo with carpet all over. I am currently running 2 M&K subs... MX-350 THX and MPS 5210 THX... Both are dual 12" drivers.

My problem is that the bass notes on both music and home theater sound very boomy and almost hollow in a sense. I had the same exact setup at my previous place and sounded amazing. Concrete floors on previous place. Oh yeah and new place, set up is in the second floor.

Question is what can I do to get that tight accurate bass that I had. Any help or suggestion welcomed. Thanks in advance guys.

You might try moving them away from any corners first.

Yes-keep moving the sub away from the corners, behind your speakers is usually a good place. However, a suspended wood floor (I assume its suspended wood rather than concrete since youre on the second floor) will probably never sound as good as a concrete floor but im sure you can find a place for the subs that is not boomy.

Good luck with your downstairs neighbors.

There are many ways to configure your subs. Not just positioning, although that is the most important, but also try placing them on theirs sides, up and down and pointing in all positions. It is really hard to place subs and without very sophisticated equipment (and even with, as stated by Harman Kardon in their white papers) it is a case of trial and error.

Check your crossover point maybe set to high. Move away from all boundaries if possible. Make sure all connections are right. Good Luck
