Placement

 e amount of deep bass you get from your new subwoofer will be quite dependent on proper location in your particular room, the
room’s dimensions, and the location of your listening area. You can’t easily change your room or its dimensions, so it’s worthwhile
 nding the best location that will let your subwoofer deliver its optimum performance---smooth, deep and powerful bass to your
seating area.  e subwoofer does NOT have to be at the front of the room with your main stereo speakers. Deep bass below 80 Hz
is not directional, so it doesn’t ma er if the subwoofer faces you or is at the side or back of the room. Now get ready to do the tried­and-true “subwoofer crawl.” Move your subwoofer as close as you can to where you sit. If it’s a chair, move the chair aside and place
the sub where the chair was. If it’s a couch, slide the couch temporarily out of the way and put the sub about where you usually sit.
Play a DVD movie with lots of low-frequency e ects or a CD with plenty of deep bass in the music, the kind that really kicks your
sub into motion.

Now crawl around the room in the general area where you were thinking of locating the sub or even in areas that you didn’t think
of. Go several yards in each direction--near the wall, out from the wall, towards a corner, away from the corner, and so on on all four
walls--while you listen for smooth and extended bass response. At some locations, the bass may seem really exaggerated and boomy.
In other spots, it may almost disappear. Pick a location somewhere between these extremes.  at’s it! Mark the spot with some
masking tape then move the subwoofer into that position. Now put the furniture back.
Test the technique by playing the same deep bass selections, only this time sit in your favorite chair (where the subwoofer was).  e
deep bass should sound just like it did at the place where the sub now sits. You see, it works!
