Kain Posted January 15, 2002 Share Posted January 15, 2002 My room is about 14 feet by 14 feet. Between my sofa and wall is some space. Can I place the subwoofer there? It will be basically behind the sofa but along the wall. Well? ------------------ Home Theater: Display: Sony VPL-VW11HT LCD Projector Receiver: Denon AVC-A11SR (230V version of Denon AVR-4802) DVD Player: Sony DVP-S9000ES Center: Klipsch RC-7 Mains: Klipsch RF-7s Surrounds: Klipsch RS-7s Subwoofer: SVS CS-Ultra w/Samson S1000 amplifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxg Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 In theory you can place a sub anywhere as bass is non-directional. In practise, however, you may find that is is too strong or too weak in certain room positions. Most people suggest corner placement for subs. It is difficult to know how the sub will sound in your room in the place you have identified without testing it. If you really want to play with sub placement one way is to put the sub at your usual listening position (switched on and playing). Then walk around the room and see where you get the best bass. Wherever that place is - that is where your sub should go. ------------------ 2 * Heresy 2 (mains) 2 * Homemade horn speakers (rears) 1 * REL Strata 3 sub Accuphase E211 amp.

Colin Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 depending on how low the bass output of the sub is depends on where the best position for it will be, I have heard subs next to the couch and they sound gret there, unless they are playing upper bass (100 to 250 Hz) then they often sound better along the front wall with the main speakers since that location can add to the image and soundstage, in the corner is better for low bass, but not punchy mid-bass, which many of us like ... ------------------ Colin's Music System Cornwall 1s & Klipsch subs; lights out & tubes glowing!

Klipsch-daddy Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I too got on the band wagon about putting a sub in a corner. I want to move my tv back closer to the wall and thus I had to move the sub from the corner to the far let beside my rf-3. The bass is much more cleaner and it seems like you can "FEEL" the bass better. Really the only thing you can do is try as many different situtations as possible. Basically you will be frustrated for a long time!!! ------------------ Home Theater: Yamaha RX-V1000 Klipsch RF-3's Klipsch KSC-C1(LOOKING FOR A RC-3 OR RC-3II) Kenwood KSV64 Bipolar Speakers Klipsch Subwoofer KSW-12 Television: TOSHIBA THEATER VIEW 50" DVD Player SONY S-360 CD Changer CDC 585 5 Disc Yamaha Philips Pronto ts-1000 monster cable interconnects/12 gauge speaker wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 17, 2002 Author Share Posted January 17, 2002 Okay, then will it be okay to place the SVS right next to one of the RF-7s? Since my RF-7s will be located near the wall, can I place the SVS next to one of them? Will it sound okay? ------------------ Home Theater: Display: Sony VPL-VW11HT LCD Projector Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 8000 DVD Player: Sony DVP-S9000ES Center: Klipsch RC-7 Mains: Klipsch RF-7s Surrounds: Klipsch RS-7s Subwoofer: SVS CS-Ultra w/Samson S1000 amplifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boa12 Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 kain, no one can really answer sub placement from afar. & we're mostly real far folks have dif rooms, equip, tastes. a general rule is near a corner (though maybe not right in the corner) works for most. get the stuff & do that sub place method. that is put the sub near your sweet spot then move your person around the room to listen (i get on my hands/knees). then place the sub as near as u can to the place it sounds best to (like maxg suggested). no prob putting it right near an rf as long as it's not directly blocking the rf sound. ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
