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?

Right behind my listening position works best for me.  Can keep it turned down enough to not muddy up the sound of the main speakers but still feel the thump in my back.

I think these posts show what we have always experienced at Lone Mountain and TransAudio- each room is different and where "the subs go" is just as different as the room itself.  Ive almost never had the same location work out in two rooms- especially in untreated or undertreated  rooms.  Drives some people mad as the desire for visual symmetry is strong- even to the point of choosing a lesser performance location.

I've never been a fan of subs because I just couldn't really get them to sound right / integrate the way I wanted, until, I placed an SVS PB13 Ultra directly behind my listening seat pointed at my back.  Omg, listening became a visceral experience.  It sounded amazing.  I bet the 4 sub setup sounds good too.  I forgot what it was called. But basically get 4 subs and place them in all different spots to smooth out nulls and peaks and to gain headroom.

 

Nicely done!  A little crawling goes a long way.  I’d highly recommend getting a second sub whenever possible.  Leave the first sub where it is and do the crawl again to find another sweet spot for bass and you’ll be in for a treat.
