Single Sub Position
Been moving my sub about to the right or left of rig for months. Still not happy turn it up and midrange gets smeared turn it down and punch just drops. So finally broke down and did the floor crawl thing with sub in listening position. Son of a biscuit it worked. Really didnt want it in this position but it sounds so much better.
How many people end up with it here?
Finding/getting the best from one sub is admirable, however Bass, and don’t forget the overtones of any fundamental notes, 32, 64, 128, 256, .... are or quickly become DIRECTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thus, 2 subs, front firing, no ports, located adjacent to your FL and FR for Stereo Imaging is always my recommendation.

@immatthewjSpeaker roughly 8 feet apart and distance about 9. Easily get those numbers closer. Hain't nobody here but little o'l me. |
I agree with @tmortsd, I always had mine to the rear & in the corner of my old house. Then moved to where I am now & put it to rear right on the side of the couch. I the bought another sub, but smaller & put it on the other side of the couch & it brought attention to itself, so i dropped it. Recently I moved it to the rear of my chair & that helped with the sound, Last week I did an update to my Onkyo & purchased the Dirac Live download & it blended all my speaker with the sub. I also have 2 subs for my analog system, (up Front) to help from there. The only thing about that is, on some recordings it's just to much base. So I'd have to go & lower it. Bottom line is, find your sweet spot & enjoy your system. |
