Hey Eldartford! Seems like i havent seen you in the threads as of recent! Good to see ya.
Subwoofers can be moved, i just purchased a new rack that will be delivered wednesday that will free up a bit of space but not a whole lot.
the problem is this, check out my virtual system and note the space to the left of the left speaker, well, thats a staircase. moving the speaker will result in way too much of a "speaker down the stairs" scenario with all the dogs i got running around. (grin) Placing the sub near there really doesent yield any bass responce in the sweet spot.
The speaker on the right, about 1 foot to the left is the door to the garage and on the side wall in the corner there is the front door. So, space is a premium there too.
The only sub i currently have set up has to be against the wall facing left just to prevent it from messing with the picture. moving it to the right of that speaker it will be in the way of the doors, swapping its location with the speaker causes the speaker to mess with the picture.
Ive got a couple projects in mind for the living room and one of them while it is being done will allow me to run a full set of AV cables to the wall behind the couch which cannot be seen, there is a corner there which would work wonderfully, however, getting it there at this time is kind of a problem, and i have several projects i need to finish before i start any more. Hell, im turning into a regular bob villa, this weekend alone i shingled the doghouse, dug the pit for the sandbox in which the hottub will be, and replaced a good portion of my granite countertops that were incorrectly done by the prev owners, and i did it with style!!!!! Nice Inlay work of several types of granite. (laugh) Getting kind of off topic there but im pretty proud of myself. (ROFL)
So, im thinking at this point the easiest would be to try to shield the speakers and subwoofers. Ive tried so many different placements, but i have very limited luck, if they diddnt mess with the picture it would really open the possibilitys of placement.
but i guess to answer yer question yeah they do mess with the pic. In fact it is bad enough ive only found one plausable location for the SW (without running cables, which im not against, however, i need to finish some other projects before i start one that would make it possible unless i wanted to crawl through 18 inches of insulation in my vaulted ceilings.. hell, i can see it now, roomate coming home, slapster is nowehre to be found.. weeks go by.. then the roomate starts to notice a smell.... ) and to have both subs running they have to be stacked on eachother in that exact spot.
(the other sub is currently in my buddys system in the basement.... but not for long...oh no... not long at all... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
