Cardas Speaker placement..

Once again I'm playing around with speaker placement.After reading some from the cardas site I fiqure I would try this method.After putting my dimension's in the calculator it says 4' from the sitde walls.I went with this but the final set up looks rediculous".The speakers look smashed together.does this seem right in a 14.5' room or did I do something wrong..?My room is 14.5' x 22' x7'.The reason for the change in placement is the bass is never right to me..I tried other speakers in this room with the same results..Thanks

4ft from the middle of the woofer to the side wall and 6.48 from the center of the woofer face to the rear wall is what I get on their website.

I read a link years ago where people posted their set up measurements and I was surprised at the time to find how close together their speakers were and how close they were sitting...

Give it a try I really liked the Cardas method for my Maggies (when I had them).

are those some type of bass traps in the corner?

if not you may want to try some.

You probably already know this but fwiw...

speakers out of phase?

again I am grasping at straws here...

a battery can be hooked up to the speaker positive to positive and the woofer goes out.

I have not done this myself but heard about it years ago,

please do not try it until someone else verifies it

and good luck

Spaz, if out of phase the one woofer goes out while the other woofer goes in, cancelling each other out, because both are supposed to go out at the same time (which increases sound pressure instead of equalizing it)
