Scrappydue Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 2 loaded in each corner would give you the most volume and shake for sure but four Ina row would prolly give you the best overall response throughout the room. That how the pic on klipschs website is. I would do a row right under the screen myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechMan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Stacked should get you a few more db's if needed, but it's always best to get get real measurments to find the sweet spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbox Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I've heard it might be best to keep subs as close to the floor as possible. it will help the sound couple with the floor. i dont think i'd stack. i have a kpt684 and the best sound is not stright up. its on its side, with the Speakers facing the wall about 10 to 12 inches from the wall on the front sound stage. Just my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8g Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I doubt you will have any SPL issues with 4 Klipsch THX subs. You can measure the room but I am pretty confident 4 across the front will knock your socks off! I have heard 2 different home theaters with THX subs. One had 2 next to each other in the front of the room and it was more than enough bass. The other theater of similar size had 4 across the front. The overall sound output was so effortless and controlled. I drooled a little bit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgonzi Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 O.K I stacked the subs on the right and left side so I could put the 625 on them and I only had to make 1 stand for the 625 Center. Are the middle and horn tone effected by the subs when they are directly situated under the 625s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm running (4) across with some of the rw12d subs. I had them stacked for a while. Bass seems more even across the room this way. Wife now wants 4 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 When I read of what DR. Hsu says in regards to his subs, he always advises placing a sub in a back rear corner near the couch. Can you try out 2 in the front and 2 in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ideal placement of 4 subs for most even coverage would be either one centered on each wall or (if that's not possible) 1 in each corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMiRA Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I originally had one front and one rear and could never get it to sound right, always seemed to cancel no matter what I did with phasing. The bass was louder in all the wrong areas of the room. As the room is now my RCA cables won't reach the back since components are now moved to the next room on the other side of the wall behind the screen.. For some reason I have dumb luck with stacking stuff in arrays even the center is better as twins. The room is 13w and 14 d.4 x 4 Window on back wall. 6 foot long opening on the right wall. The curtain treatment I did this weekend helped but I still need bass traps on the back wall( maybe cover the window in one.) I think for the most part audessy is the star here. If I can come across some 20 foot RCA cables I can try moving them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hey man, ok I had a similar problem which several of these great forum members helped me through. I also have 4 THX Kw-120s and I had them stacked and placed in front corners rear corners etc. at the end of the day I placed all 4 in a row directly under the television as seen in my last post in regards to me working on my theater room. This by far gave the most deep powerful and balanced output. When these are set up just right my god they deliver. If it is possible place all 4 in a row directly in front of the seating position. I got the idea while looking at the THX brochure in their cinema and it just delivers but of course it isnt ideal for everyone since a lot of people have entertainment units or no space for them. Hope this is an option/helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Exactly what I did 4 in a row is deep n powerful and equal. I had then stacked 2 in each corner way too boomy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelandKlipsch Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You one lucky SOB. Every time I added a Klipsch THX sub I had to literally think out and plan my conversation with my fiance lol. usually she is supportive of the hobby since she loves movies also but she doesnt understand y 1 THX sub wasnt enough it told her Honey look 4 all the way across looks so much better (heh dont care how they look just sound but she doesnt know that lol). I just purchased the rest of the THX Ultra 2 Setup you can imagine the detailed planning that conversation took. Prob took longer than the upcoming installation will.
