wuzzzer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 First thing I'd do is move your side surrounds down. They're mounted way too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I think in place of the bookshelf would be good, although you'll probably have cords going across the floor that you might have a problem hiding if they bother you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 First thing I'd do is move your side surrounds down. They're mounted way too high. I agree. I've never had mine up more than 5'. I have them at exactly 5' now, and they sound great!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Unfortunately yes, they are too high but I had no choice because there is a door on one of the sides of the room and I had to place the surround above that door.

Mike Price Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 If I were you , I would design and build a new TV stand / Audio Rack , with the subwoofer built in. If your'e clever you could come up with quite a bit of air space below and behind the tv , with maybe a nice shelf above for the center channel .If you DIY the possibilities are endless. It would not be that hard to do , it would be in a prime location , and it will probably perform better than most of the commercial subs depending on how well you design it. I'm no expert , but thats my 2cents for what its worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 If I were to place the subwoofer where the plant is and have it facing the front of the room (subwoofer driver points towards the plasma TV), will the sofa in front of it cause and problems? Meaning, will the sofa along the side wall (where the curtain is) degrade the sound in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilbertma Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I like Dr. Whos first suggestion because it's very similar to what I did. I have similar dimensions of 12.5' wide by 24' long with an adjoining 16' long garage. You're going to want to spread those RF-7's as far apart as possible so that bookcase will have to be moved. I have a massive subwoofer so my placement options were very limited and I tend to like my sub drivers in line with the front stage. People have commented (online) about the sub and rack blocking my mains/center but I think it just looks that way, I get really good performance out of my speakers and the 2500 watts (potential) that is on tap. My couch positioning is flexible too, many positions available in under a minute (sliders on couches). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
