Placement Tips
Use Corner Placement for Maximum Bass Presence
Corner placement optimizes subwoofer performance by minimizing acoustic cancellation points (dead spots), ensuring effective bass production below 40Hz.
Prioritize placing your 12" subwoofer(s) at the corners of your room.
Refer to the "Recommended Placement" section for suggested placement layouts.
Fine-Tune Corner Placement
Play music with a familiar bassline on loop. Move your 12" subwoofer diagonally from the corner, equidistant from both side and rear walls.
Listen to the bass response. Adjust the subwoofer position incrementally until you find one that offers lower and louder bass. Settle on the optimal placement.
Typically, the subwoofer will be a few inches away from the walls of your room.
Alternative Placements
Every room responds differently to subwoofer placements. If corner placement doesn't provide optimal bass response or isn't feasible, perform a subwoofer crawl to find alternative positions:
- Place the subwoofer at your listening position.
- Play music with a repeating bass line on loop.
- Evaluate bass quality at each potential location by squatting and keeping your head near knee level while listening.
- Place your subwoofer in locations in the room that provided the most accurate sounding bass to your ears.
Once you have found the best subwoofer location in the room, try shifting your listening position a few inches closer or away from the wall. Small changes in the seating location can further optimize the perceived bass response.
