Single Sub Position

I think these posts show what we have always experienced at Lone Mountain and TransAudio- each room is different and where "the subs go" is just as different as the room itself.  Ive almost never had the same location work out in two rooms- especially in untreated or undertreated  rooms.  Drives some people mad as the desire for visual symmetry is strong- even to the point of choosing a lesser performance location.

I've never been a fan of subs because I just couldn't really get them to sound right / integrate the way I wanted, until, I placed an SVS PB13 Ultra directly behind my listening seat pointed at my back.  Omg, listening became a visceral experience.  It sounded amazing.  I bet the 4 sub setup sounds good too.  I forgot what it was called. But basically get 4 subs and place them in all different spots to smooth out nulls and peaks and to gain headroom.

Nicely done!  A little crawling goes a long way.  I’d highly recommend getting a second sub whenever possible.  Leave the first sub where it is and do the crawl again to find another sweet spot for bass and you’ll be in for a treat.  

@soix Then 3 subs works even better and 4 even better yet!  I have attended some demos where there were 4 very small cheap subs turned down almost so low you couldn't tell they were on and it was amazingly consistent bass throughout a small room.   Ive also gone the other direction and supplied 5 very large high power ATC subs to Blackbird for their very large ATC ATMOS rig and positioning 3 in front and 2 in back worked best socially.  A lot of ATMOS set ups don't have enough bass in back.
