There are some general guidelines that you should
bear in mind when locating your subwoofer:
1. For best results, place the subwoofer on the same
side of the room as your front speakers.
2. Placement near walls and in a corner will increase
the subwoofer’s output, but the sound may be
“muddy” or “boomy.”
3. An acoustic effect called “standing waves” or
“room modes” may cause uneven bass at various
locations throughout the room. This phenomenon
is a function of the dimensions of the room and not
due to the design of the subwoofer. If there is less
bass at the main listening position than at other
areas of the room, move the subwoofer until you
hear full bass at the main listening position.
4. Moving the subwoofer even a foot or two can
dramatically change the bass output and quality.
Experiment with subwoofer placement to achieve
the highest performance.
5. The subwoofer may be placed inside a cabinet,
provided there is a clearance of at least 2 inches
(50 mm) around the front, back, sides, and top of
the subwoofer. The front of the cabinet should be
completely open or covered with open mesh grille,
screen, or cloth.
