Single Sub Position

Been moving my sub about to the right or left of rig for months. Still not happy turn it up and midrange gets smeared turn it down and punch just drops. So finally broke down and did the floor crawl thing with sub in listening position. Son of a biscuit it worked. Really didnt want it in this position but it sounds so much better.

How many people end up with it here?

I was never able to get decent bass at my listening position. Added a second sub and problem was solved.

Yeah i got another thread about that but i am a believer now that a single will het the hob done if its exactly the correct spot. The room geo really drives it.

Single sub, with bass traps and EQ can often be fantastic.  We are often limited in not having great sub locations, or not wanting to add bass traps or EQ, so we get what we can.

Another, often overlooked solution is to dampen bright rooms.  A reflective room enhances the treble a great deal, so often turning that down not only adds clarity but lets the bass bloom.
