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'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.  

@soix Then 3 subs works even better and 4 even better yet!  I have attended some demos where there were 4 very small cheap subs turned down almost so low you couldn't tell they were on and it was amazingly consistent bass throughout a small room.   Ive also gone the other direction and supplied 5 very large high power ATC subs to Blackbird for their very large ATC ATMOS rig and positioning 3 in front and 2 in back worked best socially.  A lot of ATMOS set ups don't have enough bass in back.
