Placement of subwoofers
Hi All. I would appreciate your views as to the placement of subwoofers in my system. I attach 2 pictures of my room for your reference below:-

Based on the reading that I have done, I understand that the subwoofers should be placed alongside / parallel to the main speakers, and not behind them. If this is so, should the subwoofers be on the inside or outside of the main speakers? Right now they are positioned on the outside of my main speakers, but they are behind them by 1 to 2 feet. I feel that this is a system weakness and have been contemplating relocating my subwoofers as a result.
Also, my subwoofers are placed very close to other bulky furniture, which leads me to wonder as to the effect on the sound emanating from the subwoofers. Will this effect or otherwise block the sound from my subwoofers?
FYI due to the WAF, I unfortunately have limited choices in the placement of my subwoofers.
Any input would be welcome.
Thanks!
The bulky furniture won’t matter as bass waves are omnidirectional. Place one in the front left corner (try facing into the room, then, try facing the wall about 2 inches away and see what you like better.) If possible place the second in the back of the room, try both midwall and in the opposite corner and see what sounds better. I am sure your wife won’t like bass traps so you can get a DSPeaker 8033 II to EQ them once they are placed. Check this out: https://www.dspeaker.com/anti-mode-8033
